Mark Pompei Student Scholarship

About the Mark Pompei Student Scholarship
In 1991, Mark Pompei, a young staff development officer at MMI Insurance (now Allianz Australia), was tragically killed in an accident. At the time of his death, Mark was undertaking part-time study to enhance his skills and advance his career in training and development.

In the year following his death, his colleagues at Allianz Australia worked tirelessly to establish a memorial fund to be used to assist other trainers studying part-time, just like Mark. The proceeds of this fundraising were given to the Australian Institute of Training and Development to manage and use as the basis of the Mark Pompei Student Scholarship.
This scholarship was presented for the first time in 1993 and proudly continues today.
