ZOE HILLE SPEAKS: ...and my course is Bachelor of Applied Science Surveying.
VISUAL: Zoe Hille’s surveying homework papers and computer work.
ZOE HILLE SPEAKS: I chose the course because I’d done some research and so many things I felt suited me. I like math. It just, like, fitted my personality. I received the Women in Geospatial Science Scholarship, which was given by Geomatic Technologies.

MARIE SLAKO SPEAKS: The reason I set up the scholarship is because I wanted to see more young women come through in this industry because it’s such a rewarding industry and has been very good to me and my career.

MARIE SLAKO SPEAKS: The recipient receives $8,000 a year for the length of their studies, which is a four year degree, and also the opportunity to do the work experience component of their course with Geomatic Technologies.
VISUAL: Zoe Hille, Marie Slako and Claire Davies have a discussion in the Alumni Courtyard. Zoe Hille walks down Bowen Street.
ZOE HILLE SPEAKS: I’ve done a week of that and that was good. I worked with my buddy and mentor, and then I caught up with them for coffee a few times. They keep me updated with what work is going on within their business and how I’m going with uni. The money has helped because I do play sport and I do do full time uni, so I have the financial pressure taken off and then I have more time to study.

CLAIRE DAVIES SPEAKS: She has so many commitments outside of university that are happening, but this scholarship has allowed her to focus on her studies and her passions, and I think it’s really engaged her passion for the industry and given her her great exposure to the work that she could be doing in the future. Having that link to industry is beneficial in both directions. I think it’s also important for our industry to have a link back to RMIT and to the kind of things they’re teaching there so that we’re all current and we’re all keeping up. I would encourage other companies to create a scholarship, especially if they have an area they’re passionate about, say in the diversity space. I think it really shows a strong message that you’re not just talking about diversity that you’re taking action and you really are encouraging diversity.
