Black or mixed Black heritage students are still under-represented in the #geospatial industry.

In an attempt to encourage Black and mixed-Black heritage students, @esriuk has partnered with @AkamaFund to create a new scholarship program for them.

Black or mixed Black heritage students are still under-represented in the geospatial industry and the ‘knowledge access level’ to enter the industry tends to be a higher education degree.

In an attempt to encourage Black or mixed-Black heritage students, @esriuk has partnered with @AkamaFund, a charity dedicated to supporting students and facilitating accessible scholarships, to create a new scholarship program for them.

Designed to support 60 higher education students, in disciplines related to the geospatial industry, the Geospatial Student Accelerator scheme will make awards totaling £30,000 in the first year.

How can we make the geospatial industry more inclusive?

@hazelshearing Interesting read! We're working on the impact of commuting on low income students. Studies show travel distance from home if you're studying in London is the biggest factor for non continuation. An extra £2k pa for travel can make a difference. Read more: https://t.co/cQPBr6G8bU
