Scholars Program
A single platform for student investors at NYU, bringing SCM together with IAG, QFS, and the IMI advisory board for shared training, stronger speaker access, and a deeper investment community.
One Application, Three Paths
A common entry point for NYU investors.
The new structure creates a unified application across SCM, QFS, and IAG while preserving club-specific interviews, questions, and investment identities.
Common App
Applicants move through a shared structure designed to make recruiting clearer and more accessible across the investment ecosystem.
Club Review
Each club keeps its own questions and interviews so analysts can be evaluated against the strategy and culture they want to join.
Scholars Cohort
After joining a club, analysts may apply separately to the Scholars Program and train together as one cross-club class.
Fixed Income
Credit and rates-oriented education for students who want to understand debt markets, macro risk, and capital structure.
Multi-Strategy Investing
Long/short, global macro, and quantitative pods that give students multiple ways to study markets and express views.
Long-Only Equity
Real-money, value-oriented investing focused on company analysis, security selection, and portfolio discipline.
Scholars Training
A shared foundation before students specialize.
The program starts with practical finance training, then moves into pod-specific lessons that expose scholars to the major investment approaches represented across the three clubs.
