THE PROCESS OF BRINGING SCHOLARS OF FINANCE TO YOUR UNIVERSITY:

Submit an Application: Tell us why you are interested in being a leader at Scholars of Finance. We will be in touch.

Initial Interviews: Potential founders partake in initial interviews with fellow Student Leaders to confirm alignment with Scholar of Finance’s Mission, Vision, and Values as well as gauge experience and qualifications.

Final Interview: Potential founders have a final interview with the CEO or an appointed delegate to confirm alignment with the Scholars of Finance’s Mission, Vision, and Values and to gauge experience and qualifications.

Source Co-Founders: Once 3-6 student co-founders are sourced, a member of our National Team will help host a kick-off meeting.

Build Leadership Team: Initial co-founders recruit the remainder of the Leadership Team for the chapter, with support from a member of our National Team.

SCHOLARS OF FINANCE CREATES LASTING IMPACT

“

“What SOF teaches is not only content and providing resources, but it also helps you build a community of fellow Scholars of Finance committed to upholding values of integrity, humility, courage, and stewardship. No other programs or organizations specifically target ethical leadership in the same way.”

Ansaar BaigCo-Founder, NWU Chapter
“

“There are no other organizations like Scholars of Finance at UC Berkeley. Other clubs may preach ethics, but it’s not their core pillar like it is for SOF. Values-based leadership is what differentiates SOF, and complements the learning I get in the classroom.”

Ishan GillCo-Founder, UC Berkeley Chapter
“

“Throughout my time with SOF I have been able to develop a firm understanding of my values and principles as well as how I can live true to them. I now have a framework that I can use to evaluate my decisions and ensure that I’m acting in accordance with my deepest held values…”

Nishant SinghalCo-Founder, Princeton Chapter
“

“SOF and its mentorship program has been an incredible experience for me... my mentor has been amazing and he has certainly increased my passion for financial services and Scholars of Finance’s potential impact.”
