Meraki Honors Program in Finance
This summer, intern at a leading financial firm in New York City while being mentored by a faithful Christian financier.
Where Faith and Finance Meet
The Meraki Program is an intensive and highly selective program designed for top Christian students from across the United States with a passion for finance and plans to pursue a career in New York City upon graduation. The program combines a financial internship at a top NYC firm, with field trips to key financial institutions, a Christian mentor for each student, and a college class on Faith and Finance. The class will discuss ways that the Christian faith intersects with Finance and the Financial Services industry in NYC.
About the Program
The 10-week course will introduce students to different financial institutions and their roles in the marketplace. Students will hear from leading Christian practitioners, and discuss how Biblical principles are applicable to everyday operations at each type of institution.
Students will spend 30+ hours per week working in finance at a leading firm in NYC. Upon acceptance into the program students will interview via video conference with companies for placement. Internships available include Investment Banking, Private Equity, Hedge Fund / Family Office, Office of the CFO, and others. Students will be expected to complete related assignments and papers to receive course credit.
Students will be assigned a Christian mentor to meet with regularly throughout the term. We have chosen mentors who have demonstrated a commitment and dedication to their faith while navigating long hours at work and pursuing a challenging financial career.
