Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has today promoted the 2025 STEM Student Competition Sponsorship Program, calling it an essential step toward nurturing the next generation of innovative minds. The program, funded under the Research Attraction and Acceleration Program (RAAP), offers grants of up to $10,000 per team, supporting NSW students to participate in domestic and international STEM competitions.

The sponsorship program focuses on funding research-related expenses, including lab consumables and research materials to allow students to fully engage in their projects.
