From Study Tour to Diploma… to Disney
At the Academy of Entrepreneurs, we always tell parents and students that our programs are designed to open doors, from discovering purpose and building real-world skills, to accessing life-changing global opportunities.
This week, we are proud to celebrate a truly inspiring student success story.
Meet Althea, from Ateneo de Manila.
Althea first joined us two years ago on one of our Entrepreneurship Study Tours, where she visited world-class universities, startup ecosystems, and global leaders. This experience helped her gain clarity, confidence, and a bigger vision for her future.
She then continued her journey by enrolling in the AE University Pathway Diploma, where she developed practical business, leadership, innovation, and employability skills.
Thanks to the AE Diploma, Althea earned one year of credit into the International College of Management, Sydney, saving her parents approximately AUD $52,000 in bachelor tuition fees. She was also able to skip the foundation-level pathway, representing an additional estimated saving of AUD $32,000.
On top of this, Althea received a 20% scholarship, creating a further saving of approximately AUD $31,000 for her family.
In total, this represents approximately AUD $115,000 in tuition savings, as well as saving Althea two years of study time.
And now… the next incredible milestone.
We are SOOOO PROUD to share that Althea has been selected as the No.1 student from Australia to secure a coveted internship opportunity at The Walt Disney in Florida.
This is not just any internship.
It is a paid internship with Disney in Florida, one of the most recognised and respected global brands in entertainment, innovation, customer experience, and leadership development.
Disney is world-renowned for setting the gold standard in creativity, service excellence, leadership, and innovation. To be selected for such an opportunity is an extraordinary achievement and a reflection of Elsie’s dedication, growth, and entrepreneurial mindset.
Her journey perfectly demonstrates what is possible:
This is exactly why we do what we do.
We don’t just help students choose a university.
We help young people build confidence, discover purpose, develop future-ready skills, and access opportunities that can transform their lives.
