Bermont/Carlin Scholars Program
Each spring, sophomores interested in careers in the investment industry may apply to be named Bermont/Carlin Scholars. The Scholars are selected based on academic performance, written and oral presentations, personal characteristics and experience.
Once selected, the Bermont/Carlin Scholars begin the program during the summer with self-directed readings on current events and both new and classic books on the investment industry. In addition, each Scholar prepares an in-depth research report on a target bulge-bracket firm that offers summer internships in the New York City area.
Upon returning to campus for the fall semester, the Scholars participate in:
- Focused training on written and oral presentation skills,
- Personal consultations with local leaders in the investment community,
- Coaching sessions with current School of Business students who have experience in New York City,
- Lecture/discussion sessions on:
- the application of corporate finance theory to investment industry issues,
- interpretation of current events and conditions in the financial sector,
- the use of technology in investment applications,
- typical career paths and options, and
- how to tap into the growing network of University of Miami alumni who have already achieved success in the industry.
