Following a successful corporate career Melbourne businesswoman Sandy Hutchison in 2014 founded Career Money Life (CML). Her entrepreneurial leap received a boost today with the award of the coveted behind closed doors (BCD) entrepreneurs scholarship providing a 12-month fully-funded membership to the national network for businesswomen. 

The prized BCD Entrepreneurs Scholarship awards a female Melbourne entrepreneur the opportunity to tap into the considerable business acumen of some of the State’s leading businesswomen. The membership provides professional development, peer to peer mentoring and networking opportunities to assist with continued business growth and success.

“Sandy joins an enviable list of Alumni to have received the award including inaugural Melbourne recipient Fashion Designer Lisa Barron”, Founder and Managing Director of behind closed doors, Donny Walford, said.

“The BCD Entrepreneurs Scholarship has proven one of our most successful initiatives, records show scholarship recipients gain enhanced personal and professional skills that contribute to the increased success and sustainability of their business.”

In application for the scholarship Sandy Hutchison said, “Career Money Life is at a pivotal growth stage where we could benefit from any additional connections to understand how others have succeeded.”

As Scholarship recipient Sandy will receive a 12-month fully-funded BCD Entrepreneurs membership valued at more than $5,500. Members are placed into a cohort of fellow female business owners/entrepreneurs to meet for three hours, ten times a year, with a highly accomplished Facilitator and Program Director.  

“I started CML in 2014 and now we are a thriving business.  It will be great to share my experiences and help others.” Sandy said. 

A runner up BCD Entrepreneurs scholarship, providing an hour of mentoring, was awarded to Sarah Mackenzie of Embracia Victoria. 

BCD has been awarding Scholarships to businesswomen since 2012 when Adelaide Jewellery Designer Anna Dimond received a fully funded membership. Entrepreneurs Scholarships in Adelaide and Perth have also been announced this month with a Sydney award to be announced in September.
