Spark: Women’s Scholarship

EY Port Jackson Partners pursues excellence and impact for our clients, our firm, and our community. Through our scholarship program, we want to recognise exceptional women and support them in beginning to build a career that is interesting, challenging and fulfilling.

We are looking for women who are curious and driven to make a positive impact. We encourage women from all degree backgrounds to apply for our scholarship program and gain insight into what a future in consulting could look like. As the scholarship recipient, you will receive $20,000 in funding, a position in our internship program and mentorship from one of our senior women leaders. A group of highly commended applicants will also be invited to join our 12-month Spark program with like-minded peers, which includes invitation to events and training, such as consulting case workshops and Women@EY PJP events.

Applications now open.

APPLY NOW

To apply, submit an online application by Monday 11:59 pm (AEST), 16 September 2024. We will ask you to provide your CV including ATAR or other tertiary equivalent, academic transcripts, and response to three questions:

  • Why are you interested in this program and EY PJP?
  • What is an area you are deeply interested in or passionate about, and why?
  • What is an example of a time where you contributed to your team’s success?

To be eligible, you must be a student in your pre-penultimate year of an undergraduate or post-graduate program who identifies as a woman. You must also be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident currently residing in either country.

We will then select applicants for two rounds of interviews. The interviews aim to help us understand your:

  • Problem solving skills, demonstrated through your ability to identify key issues, synthesise information to create insight, and be comfortable with numbers
  • Intellectual impact, indicated by a strong academic track record in your chosen field of study, curiosity and passion for learning, and diversity of thought
  • Personal impact, or how effective and adaptable you are in collaborating with diverse teams, and
  • Values, including what motivates you
