Av-Comm Partners with One Giant Leap Australia to fund Aerospace Camp Goulburn Scholarships
One Giant Leap Australia is thrilled to unveil the 2026 Av-Comm Aerospace Camp Goulburn Scholarship, created with Av-Comm Space & Defence to inspire and empower Australian high school students through real-world aerospace and STEM learning.
Through the scholarship, ten students will each receive $1,000 to support their participation in Aerospace Camp Goulburn, One Giant Leap Australia’s flagship immersive STEM program. The initiative significantly reduces financial barriers, enabling more young Australians to access hands-on learning experiences in space and aerospace.
“Av-Comm is a proud supporter of One Giant Leap Australia. We believe that growing the next generation of space professionals can start right here at Aerospace Camp,” said Michael Cratt, CEO of Av-Comm. “Av-Comm is excited to partner with One Giant Leap Australia to support their mission of offering transformative opportunities for students and educators to develop their knowledge and build career pathways.”
Av-Comm has supported the Australian space sector for more than 40 years, delivering satellite communications expertise while actively championing early-career pathways and encouraging diverse participation across the industry.
Aerospace Camp Goulburn delivers a dynamic, immersive program designed to ignite curiosity and build real-world STEM capability.
Participants explore astronomy, rocket design, robotics, planetary habitats, and sustainable living on the Moon and Mars, while learning about Australia’s role in global space exploration. Students also engage directly with STEM specialists from across the space and aerospace industries, gaining valuable insight into future study and career pathways.
“Working alongside Av-Comm allows us to amplify the impact of Aerospace Camp Goulburn,” said Jenna McCarthy, International Education Outreach Manager at One Giant Leap Australia. “Together, we’re giving students the chance to step into a world of discovery, innovation and possibility — and that experience can shape the trajectory of a young person’s life.”
The Av-Comm Aerospace Camp Goulburn Scholarship reflects a shared commitment by One Giant Leap Australia and Av-Comm to ensure access to meaningful opportunities that inspire the next generation of Australian space and aerospace professionals.
