Women in M&A – Beyond Capital Partners Scholarship

With the newly created ‘Beyond Capital Partners Scholarship,’ Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Partners and FS alumnus, supports three female students of the Master of Mergers & Acquisitions programme each year – sending a strong signal for equal opportunities and education as an investment in the future. The three partial scholarships have been awarded since the 2025 intake and are specifically aimed at talented women who are interested in a career in the M&A field.

"As an entrepreneur, private equity investor and alumnus of Frankfurt School, it is particularly important to me to live by the Anglo-Saxon concept of “giving back”. The bridge between capital and education is an important link in this regard. With our Beyond Capital Partners Scholarship for Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, we enable up to three talented women each year to further their qualifications and achieve their educational goals."

Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner, Beyond Capital Partners GmbH, graduate of the diploma programme, Class of 2003

The idea behind this initiative is to increase the number of women in the financial sector and to support women in the M&A field in particular. This scholarship makes it easier to access excellent career opportunities and enables the best candidates to pursue their professional goals under ideal starting conditions.
