DEVELOPING FUTURE FREE MARKET LEADERS

"My scholarship with Mannkal gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge on classical liberalism, expand my networks in the liberty space, and travel the world. No words can fully encapsulate how grateful I am for the memories and experiences I have gained and the life-long friendships I have cultivated through the program. From attending conferences interstate to completing leadership programmes and internships in both London and the United States, Mannkal has broadened my horizons, stimulated my curiosity, and invigorated my love for learning."

"Mannkal provided me with an excellent opportunity to expand my academics, network with phenomenal leaders, and a great community of peers whom I could also learn from. Mannkal also offered me the opportunity to experience what this means in the workplace through my internship. A truly unforgettable experience."

"Becoming a Mannkal scholar was a life changing experience. Not only did it expose me to the world of liberal politics and institutions by sponsoring my attendance to the Liberty and Society and Friedman Conferences, but it gave me the skills necessary to take advantage of the opportunities presented. In just one short year I had gone from being a university student still unsure about my future, to running an internship program at the Institute of Economic Affairs in London. None of this would have been possible without the education and support given by the dedicated Mannkal team. I can say with certainty the Mannkal Scholarship Program will be an experience you will never forget."

"As a young individual, mastering the ability to succinctly articulate a perspective on a given topic with clarity, supported by rationale and evidence, is crucial. Mannkal has been instrumental in honing this skill by exposing me to diverse ideas, viewpoints, and influential individuals. Through the Scholarship Program, I've gained invaluable exposure to various topics, enabling me to develop and confidently express my own informed opinions."

"Mannkal opened doors for me that otherwise would not have been possible. They provide access to their rich source of alumni, ambassadors and extended network. Through the Mannkal program, I was able to attend a conference in Melbourne and intern at fellow think tanks in Sydney and Melbourne. I have formed memories, friendships and connections that will last a lifetime. Mannkal has progressed my self-development and career significantly in only a 12-month period."

"The Mannkal Scholarship program was a truly unique experience that accelerated my understanding within various aspects. Most importantly, it allowed me to connect and learn alongside WA students by attending interstate and international conferences."

"At Mannkal, I honed my presentation skills within a professional context and deepened my understanding of libertarian principles and economics. The programme facilitated my travel of Australia and the globe for internship opportunities, including a significant two-month stint in Massachusetts, US. For those seeking an intellectually stimulating challenge that fosters personal and academic growth, Mannkal is unparalleled."

"My time as a Mannkal Scholar was an incredibly rich experience in which I was exposed to a range of topics, professionals and mentors covering everything from moral philosophy to investment strategies. I was able to attend numerous conferences across the year and completed the scholarship with an internship at the Institute of Economic Affairs in London, allowing me the opportunity to have a window into the UK and EU policy space. I would highly recommend it to any students regardless of their degree to encounter counter-cultural political, philosophical and economic opinions and to gain a greater breadth and depth of professional skills."

“It is amazing to look back on how much I learned and developed over the course of my Mannkal Scholarship. This experience gave a student like myself learning opportunities I simply could not get from a university. I would strongly encourage any student who wants to challenge themselves and see what they can accomplish to apply for a Mannkal Scholarship and see where it takes you."

"The Mannkal Economic Education Foundation has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of economic principles and their real-world applications. I am sincerely grateful for Mannkal’s support in providing me with invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth." 

"For anyone who is thinking about applying for the Mannkal Scholarship Program, I would highly encourage them to do so. The seminars sharpen your intellect and knowledge through dialogue and debate; the conferences grow your social and professional networks; and the coaching and internships develop your character and leadership skills, transforming you into a potent agent of civil society. Travelling and working overseas is especially effective for achieving all of the aforementioned. Not only that, but the journey cultivates your initiative, your independence, and your imagination, and in doing so, it prepares you for even greater things."
