Proud Kalkatungu woman Laree Barney has been awarded the 2021 Queensland University of Technology Indigenous Landscape Architecture Scholarship by Arcadia, after impressing the interview panel with her mature outlook and passion for design.
First established at the University of New South Wales in 2017, Arcadia offers scholarships for Indigenous students to study Landscape Architecture at eight universities across the country. Barney, along with other winners of the scholarship, will be supported with studio experience and mentoring from the Arcadia team in their state of choice.
Barney says being awarded the scholarship is an honour and will enable to further her studies, and awareness surrounding Indigenous practices.
