TASMANIAN Sarah Lynn Rees is among just four people to win a 2013 Charles Perkins Scholarship for indigenous Australians.
Sarah will start post-graduate studies in architecture and urban design at Cambridge University later this year.
A descendant of Dolly Dalrymple and the Plangermaireener people in Tasmania, she grew up in Hobart before achieving first-class honours in a Bachelor of Environments, majoring in architecture, at the University of Melbourne.
The 23-year-old now works for Melbourne's Jackson Clements Burrows Architects and was thrilled to be named a recipient.
"My research proposal was on the concept of nomadic housing and indigenous culture," Sarah said.
"It's still four more years of study and experience to become a registered architect, but I'd become the eighth indigenous person to be an architect in Australia. There are only seven."
Sarah attended MacKillop College at Mornington and Rosny College.
British High Commissioner Paul Madden announced the scholarships in Canberra today. Worth $50,000 a year, they are designed to assist post-graduate studies at Oxford and Cambridge.
In 1966, Dr Perkins became the first indigenous Australian man to graduate from university.
