About this scholarship:

Established in 2025 through a gift from Alumni Friends in honour of the late Blair Wilson (Bachelor of Architecture, 1955), Past President of the Alumni Friends (1979-1987) and one of Brisbane’s most impactful architects. The gift also honours the late Beth Wilson (nee Moxon) (Bachelor of Science, 1955), a landscape architect whose work alongside Blair, and in recording Brisbane’s unique gardens, helped define and shape the city’s evolving identity. She also left an indelible mark on the physical spaces across Brisbane, contributing to projects including UQ’s Lakeside, Suncorp Stadium, the Princess Alexandra Hospital and beyond.
