The Finance Scholars Program is a unique program to provide participants with a broad overview of financial careers and institutions and to help them prepare for a financial career. Participants must be finance majors with a strong interest in competitive finance careers.
Finance Scholars are selected through a competitive selection process based on academic achievement, leadership, and interest in competitive financial careers. The program provides a $2000 scholarship, visits to financial institutions, opportunities for networking, a class designed to provide an in-depth view of the industry, and more.
Each year approximately 10-15 finance majors are selected for entry into the program.
