FEAL Scholarship Program

All applications will be treated in confidence.

The International Business School Scholarship provides a current or aspiring Chief Investment Officer or equivalent with an education bursary of $30,000 to be used to fund travel to and participation in a leadership development course at an international business school of the recipient's choice.

The selection panel is looking for concise (a maximum of 1,000 characters per answer), relevant and informative responses to the questions. In a two or three paragraph response provide a strong ‘business case’ as to why you should receive a scholarship this year. Consider how the experience of attending your chosen course would assist you in your current role, in meeting your professional and career goals, and/or in achieving specific KPIs. Try to be specific, clear and direct and help the selection panel understand how the scholarship opportunity would be helpful to you.
