What an incredible evening at the National Gallery of Victoria during the Faculty of Business and Economics Foundation Dinner, where we proudly announced our partnership with the University of Melbourne.


Our founder, Dylan Alcott AO, revealed two scholarship opportunities for students with disability to pursue studies in business and commerce at the University of Melbourne, in an interview with fellow alum, Lord Mayor, Sally Capp AO.

“I think it’s a pretty beautiful 360; the University of Melbourne took a chance on me and gave me an opportunity so I could be the person that I want to be and now to be able to come back and, and [create this scholarship] together, is pretty cool.”
