Academy

Purpose

The M&A industry has historically lacked diversity and needs more women and people from different backgrounds. Many deals fail due to differences in culture and there isn’t enough talent to fill the rising need for qualified M&A professionals. And despite assumptions that experience in finance or an ivy-league education is needed, emerging candidates can come from any industry or job role and succeed in managing deals.
‍
In an effort to level the playing field and bring a new diverse group of professionals into the industry regardless of race, ethnicity or gender, the M&A Science Diversity Scholarship Program aims to open opportunities and provide world class education to a broader audience. M&A Science will award 2-year scholarships to the M&A Science Academy with the goal of helping to build a more diverse M&A community that will offer different perspectives and innovate outdated ways of working.
