The Investment Banking Scholarship
Brief Description
We operate a boutique-style investment bank with a national presence and footprint. Most of our investment bankers are former business operators and executives, each with decades of relevant experience in the field. Because of our success, we want to give back to those heavily interested in careers in investment banking, finance and securities law. Twice each year (one for each semester), we award a $1,000 scholarship to a winning essay writer.
Scholarships are due July 31st and December 31st each year.
