Girls Who Invest (GWI) 2027 Scholars Program (U.S. University Students)

Undergraduate first-year and sophomore students of all majors are invited to apply for the Girls Who Invest (GWI) 2027 Scholars Program, a tuition-free initiative designed to build technical finance and investment management skills through mentorship, career development, and potential paid buy-side internship opportunities.

Program Overview & Financial Details

• 100% tuition-free; GWI covers the full cost of the educational curriculum.
• No application fee.
• Housing and meals are fully provided during any mandatory in-person training components.
• Need-based financial assistance is available to help offset travel costs.
• Sophomore applicants accepted into the Internship Track may be matched with leading buy-side partner firms for fully paid summer internships.

Eligibility Criteria

• Current undergraduate first-year or sophomore students with an expected graduation date between Fall 2028 and Spring 2030.
• All majors welcome; no prior finance or investment experience required.
• Open to students of all gender identities who support GWI’s mission.
• International and Indian citizens may apply, but must be enrolled in (or transferring to) an accredited 4-year U.S. or U.S.-style college or university. Students studying locally outside the U.S. (e.g., in India) are ineligible unless transferring to a U.S.-style program.
• While the educational portion has no work authorization restrictions, GWI-facilitated paid internships typically require unrestricted U.S. work authorization and do not provide future visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B or CPT/OPT).
