Discover untapped talent
Helping our Scholars gain relevant work experience and build their social capital are essential aspects of our support model. This is why we are committed to ensuring that Frazier Scholars secure internships and micro-internships. Internships provide learning opportunities to build industry knowledge, professional skills, and networks. Micro-internships are short-term paid professional assignments, often focused on a singular 20-40 hour project.

“Working with Frazier Scholars is a privilege. Their unique life experiences provided me and our entire office with a perspective that is often missing in the world of finance. I looked forward to the days when the interns were in the office. Hearing the interns describe their time with us as “life changing” is something I will carry with me for the remainder of my career.”
