Putting numbers to good use
The most important thing to me was the ability to focus on my studies, without having to worry about working during the semester. The awards also assisted me in landing internships and other jobs throughout my degree.
After graduating from Actuarial Studies and Science, University Medallist Nick Preston joined Sydney-based management consulting company Port Jackson Partners where he has been working on developing organisational strategy across a range of sectors including education and resources.
In his spare time, Nick has begun formulating a retirement income product that, if adopted, could greatly improve the life-long financial well-being of Australian retirees.
Nick received numerous prizes and scholarships during his ANU years, including the Australian Bureau of Statistics Statistical Scholarship (twice), the Quantum Actuarial Scholarship, the Brian Gray Scholarship and the Deloitte Actuaries and Consultants Prize for the Actuarial Control Cycle.
Nick is grateful for the support and freedom his scholarships and prizes gave him.

"I have no doubt that my experience at ANU has made me the person that I am today."
