The Atlas Scholars Program creates equitable college and career opportunities for students by providing them with four-year college scholarships and internships in the finance community.
An Atlas Scholar demonstrates exceptional merit and an interest in a career in finance. The
program helps students achieve college and career goals by providing four years of financial
support and career mentorship including
- up to $20,000 in financial aid for college tuition and other educational expenses, each year that the
scholar is in good standing with the institution and Atlas Scholars Program
- a best-in-class, paid, full-time summer internship program at financial institutions where
scholars develop the professional knowledge and network to enter a career in business
- general professional development training to equip scholars to be successful in the 21st
century workplace environment
- membership in a community of current Atlas Scholars and alumni
The scholarship program will be administered by Chicago Scholars, a mentoring and leadership development organization that helps first-generation college students and students from under-resourced communities navigate transitions into college, through college, and on to careers.
