The Future Change Makers Regional Scholarship is a powerful opportunity for two outstanding young people aged 14–16 from regional, rural, or remote areas of Australia to attend the 2026 Youth Leadership & Business Summit (YLBS) a five-day life-changing experience focused on leadership, personal growth, entrepreneurship, health, and community impact.
This scholarship is designed to recognise and uplift young people who may not otherwise have access to such opportunities due to geographic or financial barriers. It offers a fully-funded ticket to attend YLBS, covering all program fees, meals, accommodation, and materials.
Participants will join hundreds of other motivated young Australians for five days of high-energy workshops, inspiring speakers, team challenges, and deeply personal development sessions—all in a supportive, fun, and inclusive environment.
This scholarship is open to:
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and encourage First Nations young people, culturally diverse applicants, and young people from farming or small-town communities to apply.

We believe that every young person deserves to thrive. We deliver evidence-based, preventative programs through digital content, in-person workshops and residential camps, across Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand).
