The ‘Iris’ Scholarship
The Iris Scholarship is dedicated to supporting students who demonstrate resilience and ambition in the face of adversity. Each year, we award two three-month consulting scholarships: one to a student raised by a single parent and one to a first-generation college student.

We invite eligible students to apply and take the next step toward a brighter future.
