Fellowship
The Financial Clinic's Fellowship Program is a low-cost, high-impact social-innovation model for scaling the Clinic’s outcomes-based financial coaching development services.
MISSION
The Clinic recruits civic-minded recent graduates or graduating seniors—our future leaders in business and finance—in a competitive selection process. By training Financial Fellows to be Financial Coaches, providing them with a living stipend, and placing them with a variety of established nonprofits and public-sector entities, the Fellowship Program will:
- Exponentially increase financial security for working poor Americans
- Foster a sense of civic engagement and social responsibility among Fellows
- Inspire Fellows to innovate solutions to socio-economic problems
VISION
The Clinic envisions an America where everyone is financially secure and where our leaders take great care in their fiduciary responsibility to all Americans. The Fellowship cultivates this vision by:
- Developing Economic Change Makers: By fostering a sense of civic engagement and social responsibility at the start of their careers, Financial Fellows will gain a greater understanding of the exponential effects business and economic decisions have on all Americans, influencing the start of their lifelong stewardship of financial equity.
- Fostering Social Innovation: By leveraging their finance and economics backgrounds, Financial Fellows will innovate a new generation of products, technologies, processes and services with the goal of stemming America’s growing income gap and responding to and fostering economic equality.
The application period for the 2011-2012 Fellowship Program is now closed. The 2012-2013 application will be posted in December 2011.
