    About Scholars of Finance

    Scholars of Finance is a rapidly growing organization on a mission to transform the financial system and solve the world's most significant problems at scale.

    We send thousands of purpose-driven, principled future leaders into the finance industry and influence the system to achieve its full impact potential.

    We then help our members join top firms, funds, and a life-long support community that empowers them to spend their careers serving the greater good in a system managing over $100T in assets.

    Since hiring our first staff in 2019 we've raised more than $7M and brought together 800+ executives to impact 5,000+ students across 60+ universities, and we're just getting started.

    We're a close, motivated team with a big vision of a future where all finance leaders steward the world's capital with integrity.

    We are fortunate to be backed by world-class partners like Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and Insight Partners, and are being advised by titans in the industry, like Teri List, Board Director at Microsoft & Visa, and Joe Martinetto, the Chief Operating Officer of Charles Schwab.
