Through its Merit Scholars program, Macquarie has partnered with Global Voices, a not-for-profit organisation providing opportunities for young Australians to engage with international policy both at home and abroad.
Anna Kosmynina is studying a Bachelor of Arts with a Bachelor of Science. She is an active member of the Young Scientists of Australia (YSA) and a member of Macquarie’s Global Leadership Program.
“Attending this forum will allow me to put my skills and knowledge of economics and development into practice,” said Anna.
Stephanie is currently studying a Bachelor of Applied Finance with the degree of Bachelor of Actuarial Studies at Macquarie University. She has been a Merit Scholar since 2011 and is an ambassador for the program.
“Attending the United Nations forum will be an apt opportunity for me to voice the growing concern for intergenerational inequality within Australia and around the world. I look forward to utilising my actuarial skills to promote global sustainability,” said Stephanie.
Anna and Stephanie recently returned from preparatory activities in Canberra, where they met with many senior members of Parliament, including Prime Minister, the Hon Tony Abbott MP, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs the Hon Julie Bishop.
The Merit Scholars program for high achieving students includes exclusive opportunities to take part in professional workshops, social and networking events, academic mentoring, undergraduate research scholarships and international travel scholarships.
