Michigan Finance Scholars
MFS program establishes a roadmap for ambitious and driven undergraduate CMU students and prepares them for top finance careers. Last year we reached 100% internship placement rate for our juniors in the program. Recent full-time job placements have been in corporate finance, investment banking, asset management, and commercial banking.
The goal of the program is two-pronged. First, prepare our scholars to be well-qualified candidates to get top internships and entry-level positions in the finance industry. Second, equip them with soft and hard skills to ensure continued success and growth in their careers.
