- Overview
At Youi, we don’t believe in doing things the same as everyone else does – not when it comes to insurance and not when it comes to ‘insuring’ that the next generation of students have the best opportunity to succeed.
With the Youi Student Grant (“the Grant”), we want to back a full-time student who is close to finishing their studies and who has different skill sets, perspectives, or experiences to enable them to add to the uniqueness of what we do.
Based on demonstrated skill within the Entry Task, the Grant will be offered to one person in 2025 and will be paid as a one-time payment of AUD$5,000 (‘Grant Amount’). There are eligibility, entry and general requirements as set in these Terms and Conditions.
