Testimonials

Provided a safe, friendly, supportive community

'I received the Women in Engineering Scholarship in 2023, moving from a small regional town I was nervous about my university experience. This scholarship instantly provided me with a safe, friendly, supportive community, which made me realise that engineering and university was the right choice for me. As a young woman in such a male dominated field, this scholarship gave me a boost of confidence to succeed and prove I am just as smart and just as capable as my male peers. It also helped me network with female engineers in older years and different disciplines, knowing that I can follow in their footsteps and inspire the next generation of female engineers.'

Emma Lawrance, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
