Plato proudly supports women in finance scholarships across several leading city and regionally based universities.
With the aim of encouraging more women to join the financial services industry, Plato sponsors three scholarships each year for women studying finance and also offers internships to these scholarship winners.
Plato takes pride in ensuring graduates undertake real world work experience from day one, with exposure to highly qualified staff members to maximise their potential and career development.

“The scholarship allowed me to pursue so many amazing opportunities that would otherwise be far less feasible. This scholarship is an empowering sentiment to encourage women into an often-intimidating industry and provide us with the confidence to chase our ambitions unapologetically. With the support of this scholarship, I am committed to pushing my boundaries, exploring new horizons, and making meaningful contributions to the community. I would like to express my gratitude to the donors who have made all the scholarships possible. Your investment is not only in our education, but in the transformation of an entire field.”
