Xander Hepburn secures $1,500 to dedicate toward his Economics & Accounting degree at UC Santa Barbara.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2025 / After assessing the scholarship applicant pool from 2024, High Rise Financial and its scholarship selection committee are proud to award the 2024 Financial Education PSA Scholarship to Alexander Duncan Hepburn IV. Hepburn, who prefers to go by Xander, has received $1,500 to dedicate toward his Economics & Accounting degree through the University of California Santa Barbara.
Hepburn came at the scholarship prompt from two angles. He first wanted to encourage his peers to ignore the siren song of instant gratification and instead save their money for a rainy day. He refers to financial discipline as a learned skill and emphasizes that his peers should do more than create budgets-they should also stick to them.
Hepburn also emphasizes that his peers' savings shouldn't languish in their checking accounts. He highlights the value of compound interest and encourages his peers to put what they might spend on a nice night out into a high-yield savings account or S&P 500.
Hepburn's advice is presented alongside concrete analyses of studies like 1972's "Cognitive and attentional mechanisms in delay of gratification," as well as quotes from Brian Tracy and Charlie Munger. It was this dedication to fact-checking, along with Hepburn's to-the-point presentation, that made him stand out from the crowd.
High Rise Financial is thrilled to offer Hepburn $1,500 to dedicate toward his continuing studies at the University of California Santa Barbara. There, Hepburn hopes to complete his degree before beginning a career in public accounting. He's already creating financial projections for two startups, one of which has secured $125K.
After some time in the professional world, Hepburn hopes to pursue his M.B.A., after which he plans to transition into Venture Capital.
High Rise Financial wishes Hepburn the best of luck with his future endeavors and is proud to support him as he continues to pursue his academic ambitions.
