Kaplan Professional is delighted to partner again with the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) to offer 10 Women in Finance Scholarships in 2022.


The purpose of the scholarship scheme is to support and encourage women of all backgrounds and circumstances to enter (or re-enter) the industry and achieve leadership roles across the finance and financial services sector.
