Hollyport Capital Endows New Crowd Scholar Scholarship

Crowd Scholar is excited to announce a new partnership with Hollyport Capital.  

Hollyport Capital is a global private equity funds manager. It has raised seven private equity secondary funds since 2007 and currently has over $2 billion in assets under management. Their team of 32 operates from offices in London and New York. Hollyport aims to give back to its communities by supporting a range of initiatives, committing not only funds but also its employees’ time and knowledge. They have a dedicated Charity Committee whose key objectives are to promote charity and giving back within the firm, facilitate staff engagement with charity work, and support initiatives which strive for diversity and inclusion within the financial industry.   

Hollyport Capital is generously endowing a Crowd Scholar scholarship programme whose aim is to promote diversity in the financial sector. In recognition, Crowd Scholar will be naming two Scholars from the upcoming application cycle (opening January 10, 2021) in Hollyport’s honour. Each Hollyport Capital Crowd Scholar will receive a £10,000 scholarship and the opportunity to intern at the firm. Throughout university, they will also receive the personal guidance and mentoring that is available to all Crowd Scholars.

To apply for the Hollyport Capital Crowd Scholarship, applicants need simply apply to Crowd Scholar and answer two brief, supplemental questions about their interest in a career in finance.

We sincerely thank Hollyport Capital for their donation and look forward to selecting our first two Hollyport Capital Crowd Scholars in 2021!

From Hollyport: “We are excited to work with Crowd Scholar to provide opportunities to their promising students, broadening the experience and talent of our industry’s future workforce, and to share our knowledge with them through a programme of mentoring and internships.”
