The finalists for the Endeavour Scholarship 2025 have been announced, showcasing an exceptional group of students and educators from across Australia.
This year’s program drew over 90 inspiring applications, highlighting the incredible talent, creativity, and passion within the nation’s STEM community.
After a thorough evaluation, 20 students have been selected as finalists, representing some of the brightest young minds in Australia with their innovative ideas and clear dedication to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Additionally, the pool of outstanding educators has been narrowed down to the final two candidates, one of whom will lead Mission Team #24 as the Mission Chaperone.
Mission Team #24, which will include four exceptional students and one inspiring educator, will represent Australia at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. This unique experience offers the finalists the chance to participate in astronaut training, engineering challenges, team-building activities, and an extended-duration simulated space mission with fellow mission teams from around the world.
The final Mission Team #24 will be presented onsite at the Avalon Australian International Airshow on Wednesday, 26 March 2025.
