The Financial Women’s Association’s (FWA’s) Educational Initiatives are dedicated to the education, development, and advancement of underserved, high-potential high school, undergraduate, and graduate school women interested in careers in finance.

Since 1986, our life-changing programs have given thousands of female scholars the guidance and tools to achieve success in the classroom, and our outstanding alumnae are pursuing careers at top-tier firms. FWA’s scholarships, mentorship programs, educational resources, leadership training, and networking opportunities prepare young women to lead - at work and in the community.

Last year, with support from the generosity of our donors and sponsors, we:

Provided guidance, development and networking opportunities through 119 high school and undergraduate mentorships
Awarded scholarships and financial support for 57 students from our programs
Supported 24 mentees to attend local leadership conferences for women
Provided financial training to 250 Baruch graduate school students
Accepted 67 interns into the FWA’s summer 2024 Wall Street Exchange program for career development

Please help us expand the reach of these proven programs by giving generously today.

Together, we will pave the way forward to shape future leaders.
