Southwest Investment Advisors Scholarship
The tide is changing in many career fields, but it remains difficult for women to break into traditionally male-dominated fields, especially those such as finance.
Many young women are passionate about the world of finance but don’t receive the encouragement they need to stick it out. When peers, professors, and mentors are overwhelmingly male, many young girls don’t have anyone to look up to or seek advice from as they pursue their goals.
This scholarship aims to empower women to join the finance field so they can boost representation and make a difference in the industry.
Any female four-year undergraduate student who is pursuing a finance-related major may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants who have taken the SIE examination are preferred.
