SEPWA is pleased to congratulate Lachlan Warren and Zoe Skinner, the recipients of the 2026 SEPWA Agricultural Science scholarships.

Lachlan has been awarded the Rob Ashman Memorial Scholarship, supported by Viridis Ag and SEPWA. He is currently completing his final year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Science at the University of New England, with a strong interest in dryland cropping systems, agronomy, soil science and agricultural technology.

Zoe has been awarded the Farm and General Scholarship, supported by Farm and General and SEPWA. She is studying Agricultural Science at Murdoch University, with a double major in Animal Science & Cropping and Pasture Science, and is interested in agricultural research, agronomy and contributing to the rural communities that have shaped her.

The scholarships are offered annually to support capacity building in the agricultural industry and raise awareness of depression in rural Australia.

Congratulations Lachlan and Zoe — SEPWA looks forward to seeing where your studies, interests and future career pathways take you.
