Welcome to the Bennett + Bennett Women in Surveying Scholarship, a groundbreaking initiative established in partnership with UniSQ. Our mission is simple yet profound: to champion gender diversity and empower women in the field of surveying.

In launching this scholarship, Bennett + Bennett recognises the importance of fostering inclusivity and equality within the surveying industry. Historically, women have been under-represented in this field, facing barriers to entry and advancement. We believe it's time to change that narrative and create a more inclusive environment where all individuals have equal opportunities to thrive. 

Through this scholarship, we aim to provide financial support and education opportunities to aspiring female surveyors. By investing in their education and professional development, we hope to encourage more women to pursue careers in surveying and create a network of support and mentorship for scholarship recipients.
