Elizabeth Knight is the recipient of the Boston Consulting Group Scholarship for 2019. This scholarship is open to students in their penultimate year of study across Australia and New Zealand and awarded to two students who display academic excellence, communication, critical thinking and leadership skills.
Elizabeth is completing a Bachelor of Philosophy with a double-major in Management and Political Science & International Relations. She is also an active member of Bloom at St Catherine’s and currently is the Director for the organisation. “Bloom’s vision is to be the catalyst for young founders to realise their purpose and create impact through entrepreneurial pursuits.”
Receiving the BCG Scholarship has empowered Elizabeth to continue to chase her goals. For her, the scholarship not only represents an investment in future potential, but is also recognition of the value of young people. “It is about true empowerment, which is achieved by instilling confidence and trust in a young person’s abilities, passion and purpose. I’ve never felt more empowered to be my authentic self and to chase after the vision I have for my future.”
Elizabeth attended Perth Modern School and in her spare time works on her own startup and gets involved in a wide variety of College activities.
