Tips for Applicants

Giving Philosophy

The foundation seeks to build a culture of entrepreneurship and ignite curiosity for space among young Australians by partnering with universities, schools, and space organisations. It prioritises initiatives that advance STEM literacy, support First Nations participation in space science, and create connections between the space community and the broader public.
