Central Queensland University Jade Finance Scholarship 2025

As part of our community support program, Jade Finance Australia is awarding a $5000 academic scholarship to support tertiary studies students in advancing their studies. The Jade Finance Scholarship will be awarded to the applicant, selected by our expert panel, who has been judged to have submitted the most outstanding written response to our selection criteria. The topic of the written response can be of the applicant’s choosing but with a focus on business finance and consumer loans areas including Motor Vehicle Finance, Marine Finance, Equipment Finance, Truck Loans, Commercial Loans, Personal Finance, Motorcycle Loans and Caravan Finance. The global economy including Australia has experienced unprecedented and historic conditions recently which in some ways bring into question traditional economic thought and policies – record low-interest rates followed by massive rate hikes from central banks, record low unemployment, soaring inflation, demand-supply inequality, high consumer demand. All at a time when there is a major focus on addressing climate change.   Challenging conditions for individuals and businesses to make decisions around acquisitions with finance. Conditions that should inspire students to provide their take on the situation, what should and shouldn’t be done by central banks, regulators, and governments, and how the finance sector may play a role in the solution.
