Recipient feedback

The Flagstaff Partners Honours Commerce Scholarship supported me during my Honours year in Finance, where I was exposed to a vast breadth of research across various subfields of behavioural finance, market microstructure and corporate finance. Importantly, the scholarship was complemented by an internship at Flagstaff Partners, a premier corporate advisory firm specialising in mergers & acquisitions and capital raising activities for some of Australia's largest companies. Here, the generalist coverage model at the firm provided exposure to work with corporate clients covering many of ASX's largest sectors including natural resources, gaming, retail and financial institutions. The experiences gained through these opportunities provided me with insight into the scale of the corporate finance world, and simultaneously bolstered my passion for academia during my final year of Honours study.
