Industry Leaders Fund Scholars Network Sponsorship

Align your brand with successful South Australian Leaders and their brands

Introduction

The Industry Leaders Fund Scholars Network (ILFSN) provides ongoing training and networking opportunities to ensure that they can maintain currency, share knowledge, improve performance potential and generate appropriate strategic alliances. The ultimate aim is to reinforce the business school learnings that were supported by an ILF grant so that Scholars are in the best possible position to generate economic and employment growth in South Australia.

To gain an award and qualify as a Scholar an applicant must:

satisfy the same leadership criteria as a Rhodes Scholar.
work in a wealth creating industry, as defined by the ILF.
have been successful in business in South Australia (unless they are very young).
demonstrate a commitment to South Australia.

On receipt of a grant the individual studies at a top level business school and becomes a Scholar of the Industry Leaders Fund. Approximately 20% of Scholars have undertaken courses at Harvard, another 20% at the University of Adelaide, 15% at Melbourne Business School and 10% at each of Oxford Said Business School and the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The ILF’s scholars are amongst the top decision makers and industry leaders who will drive wealth creation, both personal and corporate, and build future economic activity in diverse sectors within South Australia. The number of Scholars is expected to grow by about 25 per annum.
