Clairfield\u2019s Australian team is a longtime supporter of initiatives at the University of Queensland<\/a> that reflect its commitment to education, diversity, and inclusion. The \u00ab\u00a0InterFinancial Excellence in Economics Scholarship,\u00a0\u00bb established in 2019 in memory of founder Paul Rogers, provides financial assistance to disadvantaged economics students. Another initiative is the QUT<\/a> Law Founders\u2019 Scholarship Fund, created by majority shareholder Sharon Doyle, to support first-year law students facing financial hardship through scholarships, educational resources, and peer connections. The team also supports the UQ Women\u2019s Network<\/a>, a student society dedicated to empowering young women with the skills, confidence, and network to excel in traditionally male-dominated industries. This aligns with Clairfield Australia\u2019s own identity as a majority female-owned company, with a majority-women board and predominantly female staff, who are all committed to playing it forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
