An Overview of Our Programs
From college to leadership, GWI supports our Scholars and Alumni at every stage.
The application for our 2026 programs is now closed. Applications for 2027 programming will be available in late summer 2026.
The Girls Who Invest Intensive Program includes two tuition-free education paths for undergraduate students enrolled in or transferring to a four-year U.S. or U.S.-style college or university. All majors can apply!
The experience begins with a unified curriculum that builds technical and career development skills to position Scholars for successful careers in investment management and beyond.
Select Scholars placed on the internship track will be eligible for paid internships at GWI Partner Firms. As the Program progresses, Scholars will continue their education in either the Summer Intensive Program (SIP) or in the Online Intensive Program (OIP). Program assignments are dependent on factors including but not limited to availability of internships at our Partner Firms, Scholar internship preferences, and in-Program performance.
