Association of Consulting Surveyors Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship
The Association of Consulting Surveyors NSW is the peak body representing Surveying firms in NSW. The Association was established in 1969 to serve the interests of Consulting Surveyors and the community of NSW. Our vision is to see thriving consulting surveyor businesses in every region and city across New South Wales where surveyors are recognised for underpinning the value of the economy.
This scholarship will assist Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students in achieving a career in surveying and to help them maintain a connection to their communities. Successful recipients will be offered opportunities to engage with association members, attend functions, gain work experience and receive mentorship from experienced Registered Surveyors.
In addition, non-compulsory work experience will be available for students during school holiday periods in various locations and practices to provide a greater depth of knowledge and understanding of the broader surveying industry.
