What does it mean to be a Student Fellow?
The Lehigh to Wall Street program is intensely rigorous, demanding exceptional technical mastery, professional polish and dedication. Students who successfully navigate this comprehensive one-year curriculum will earn the designation of Student Fellow. Becoming a Fellow is not just a temporary milestone—it is a lifelong distinction. Students who earn this title remain Student Fellows for life, carrying a badge of excellence that sets them apart as they enter the global financial markets.
How do Fellows support future cohorts while at Lehigh?
The Center for Applied Finance is built on a foundation of community and continuous growth. While they are still completing their degrees at Lehigh, our Student Fellows step into leadership roles as peer mentors to the incoming cohorts. By sharing their firsthand experiences with the interview blitz, guiding underclassmen through technical bootcamps and providing behavioral coaching, Fellows ensure that the Center’s knowledge base is continually passed down to the next generation of Lehigh talent.
What is expected of Fellows after graduation?
We are entirely confident that our Student Fellows will achieve immense success and secure high-impact roles when they leave Lehigh. As they transition into their careers on Wall Street and beyond, we count on them to remain deeply engaged with the Center. Whether through institutional recruiting, hosting site visits, or providing professional mentorship, our alumni Fellows are the vital link that ensures future Lehigh students will never have to navigate the global job market without support.
When will the first class of Fellows be announced?
Because the Center for Applied Finance was recently finalized, our inaugural cohort is currently pushing through their compressed timeline. Upon their successful completion of the program in December 2026, we will proudly announce the very first class of the Center for Applied Finance Student Fellows right here on this page.
