Applications Open: Myriota Impact & Access Fund

Giving the next generation of space innovators their lift-off.

Some of Australia’s brightest minds grew up in places where the path to a STEM career isn’t straightforward.

Today, we’re inviting first-year STEM students at South Australian universities to apply for the Myriota Impact & Access Fund for the 2027 academic year.

Just as our technology connects the unconnected across the globe, this fund exists to ensure that geography and background don’t limit what a student can achieve. It’s designed to support students who face real barriers to higher education – particularly those from very remote communities – who are pursuing careers that will help shape our future in space science, engineering, and environmental monitoring.

Successful applicants will receive financial support to help cover accommodation and study-related costs as they move into their second year of study in 2027.

Who can apply?

To be eligible, you must be:

• Currently completing your first year of tertiary study in 2026
• Enrolled to commence second year at a South Australian university in 2027
• Studying a STEM discipline
• Originally from a remote region of Australia
• An Australian citizen or permanent resident

Female and Indigenous students are strongly encouraged to apply.

EXTENDED: Applications are now open until 07 December 2026, through the application portal. Please refer to our FAQs for further information. 

At Myriota, innovation has always meant extending possibility – building technology that reaches beyond traditional limits. Through the Impact & Access Fund, we’re applying that same thinking to people.
