The Finance Lab Scholarship
Learn to invest by actually investing.
The plan is step one. The portfolio is step two: our $1,000 scholarship is disbursed across four milestones, not handed over all at once. Students earn each increment by demonstrating real competency.
Meet Our Current Scholars
“I first invested right when I turned 18 and one of my first investments was in the S&P 500! Start investing as early as possible!”
“I remember sitting down to open my brokerage account, fully expecting it to be this huge, confusing process, and I was shocked at how simple it actually was. That moment took away so much of the fear I had around investing. It's definitely something everyone can do!”
