Hugh Paton Bursary, Robinson College, Cambridge, England: JPMorgan funds bursaries of up to £600 to 2nd year female students studying at Robinson College, Cambridge, England. The burseries typically support students who demonstrate financial need and who are chosen based on their contributions to the campus environment and attention to academic studies.
JPMorgan Fellows: The JPMorgan Fellows Program was established in 1996 to promote diversity in graduate business schools and in the Investment Bank. The Program provides half-tuition scholarships for up to 10 first-year MBA students at five of the United States’ top graduate business schools. The applicants are African American, Latino and Native American students. As part of the fellowship, the students have the option to do a summer internship at JPMorgan’s Investment Bank.
JPMorgan Chase UNCF Scholars Program: This companywide program is dedicated to finding undergraduate students who have a commitment to diversity. The program is open to all students, regardless of race or ethnicity. All applicants must have a commitment to diversity, high academic achievement and demonstrate leadership qualities. Each year, we select up to 20 students to join the program, and each receives up to a $10,000 scholarship, in addition to a summer internship.
Princeton in Asia: This non-profit organization affiliated with Princeton University annually sends recent college graduates to work in Asia. JPMorgan has forged a partnership with PIA based on our shared commitment to Asia and our dedication to building vital communities in the developing world. Through this innovative two-year partnership, a fellow pursues a proposed course of cultural and linguistic study in Asia during year one, followed by a year of working as a general Analyst at JPMorgan's offices in Asia during year two.
Robert Toigo Foundation: JPMorgan was a founding sponsor of the Toigo Foundation in 1989. The Foundation is dedicated to increasing the number of people of color in the wholesale financial services industry. It provides financial assistance, mentoring and summer internships and job placement services to the top minority candidates in business schools. JPMorgan works with the Toigo Foundation by providing mentors and career opportunities to Toigo students.
Sponsors for Educational Opportunity: In the U.S., the U.K. and Asia, JPMorgan works with SEO to place outstanding students of color in summer intern positions at the firm. Through its career program, SEO introduces talented undergraduates to the financial services industry and provides the opportunity to explore challenging and rewarding careers.
Teach For America: JPMorgan is partnering with Teach For America to allow college graduates who have accepted offers from the Investment Bank in the U.S. to defer their starting dates for two years in order to join Teach for America, the first investment bank to do so. Teach For America, a non-profit institution dedicated to eradicating educational inequality, recruits recent college graduates to work two-year terms in urban and rural schools across the U.S.
