About Scholars of Finance
Scholars of Finance is a rapidly growing organization on a mission to transform the financial system to solve the world’s largest problems. We are sending thousands of purpose-driven, principled future leaders into the finance industry to influence the $100T+ that finance manages and allocates.

We’re a close, motivated team with a big vision of a future where all finance leaders steward the world’s capital with integrity, humility, compassion, and excellence. We are fortunate to be backed by world-class Founding Partners like Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and Blackstone, and are being advised by titans in the industry like Teri List, Board Director at Visa, Microsoft, and Lululemon, and Scott Kupor, Managing Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.
