Recipient feedback

I am incredibly grateful and honoured to be a recipient of the Honours Accounting Students’ Society Alumni Scholarship. As a student who was relatively new to research, the scholarship assisted me throughout my Honours year by providing the resources that allowed me to focus attention on my research essay, where I explored how Connectivity and information presentation can affect the relevance of sustainability as perceived by investors. The scholarship also enabled me to spend more time exploring additional educational opportunities, and this helped in planning for a future in Accounting after my Honours. Moreover, I believe this scholarship genuinely improved my well-being by allowing me to dedicate more of my time to supporting the broader community at the University of Melbourne, such as participating in student societies and organising student-led events.
