Fellowship pilot program 2026

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't.

The Public Education Foundation backs publicly educated Australians with scholarships, programs and advocacy — so where you start does not decide where you finish.

Button test bench

Every button carries two classes: btn (geometry and type, from variables) plus one variant (colour only). Hover each to see its state. To change padding on all of them at once, edit --btn-pad-x or --btn-pad-y in Site Settings → Variables.

Type scale

Every specimen below is a paragraph, not a heading — so this section adds nothing to the document outline. That is the point: the tag carries the semantics, the class carries the size. An h1 with text-display-md is still an h1 for screen readers and search, at h2 scale. Sizes shown as min / max are fluid and ramp with the viewport.

text-display-xl 96/68/44

text-display-lg 48–112

text-display-md 36–72

text-display-sm 32

text-editorial-lg 28–40 · Aptos Serif

text-editorial-md 28 · Aptos Serif

text-body-lg 20 · lead paragraphs and intros

text-body-md 16 · default body, tight 1.2 leading

text-body-long 16 · 1.5 leading for long-form reading, which is why this specimen runs on a little further than the others so the line spacing is actually visible across more than one line

text-body-strong 16 bold · emphasis within body copy

text-body-sm 14 · captions, meta, mega-menu descriptions

text-body-xs 12 · legal lines and fine print

text-label-md 15 · buttons and nav
