New Zealand’s Kairūri Community Trust (KCT) has announced that applications are now open for the KCT Stirling Scholarship for 2023.
The Scholarship is for a final year New Zealand student in a tertiary surveying or spatial course, and comprises a cash award to assist with the completion of studies along with assistance to attend the Survey and Spatial NZ (S+SNZ) Annual Conference, to be held this year in Dunedin from 30 August to 1 September.
Candidates are required to submit a short essay on ‘How Artificial Intelligence will impact the diversity and roles of Survey and Spatial NZ members’ as part of their application.
Applications can be made online up until 30 June 2023.
The inaugural Scholarship was presented last year to Francesca Robb, who was then a final year Bachelor of Surveying (Hons) student at Otago University.
The scholarship has been made possible by the Stirling family through a generous donation from the Ian and Margaret Stirling Fund in 2021. The aim of the fund is to provide scholarships/grants to support individuals seeking careers or further education in the surveying and spatial sectors… especially for those who have financial or other barriers to pursuing tertiary education.
