M&A Science

Diversity Scholarship,
2-Year Program

M&A Science Academy is a platform for forward-thinking M&A practitioners to share best practices and proven techniques.
PURPOSE

Learn M&A from the best. The M&A Science Academy is a self-paced, online learning program

that shares best practices and proven techniques in order to achieve better deal outcomes. To help shepherd in a new, diverse group of professionals to the industry, the M&A Science Diversity Scholarship Program was established to open opportunities and provide a world-class M&A education to a broader audience.

It's simple: The best M&A teams are the most diverse M&A teams. Emerging candidates can come from any background and be successful at managing deals. There is a need for M&A professionals embodying the variety, diversity and flexibility of thought to create our next generation of practitioners. M&A Science will award those who are selected with 2-year scholarships to the M&A Science Academy.

We believe in empowering the next generation of thinkers whose diverse thoughts will pave the future of M&A.
