“Greenwood Project gave me the confidence to pursue a full-time career in finance. I gained exposure to professionals, companies, and career paths I wouldn't have encountered otherwise.”Daniela, Greenwood Scholar
Come meet us.
Find out what Greenwood Project actually is.
We're on campuses across the country this fall, at career fairs, student-organization events, and virtual informational sessions.
Three ways to find us
Virtual sessions, career fairs, and campus events.
Informational sessions
An hour with our recruiting team, held virtually. The most complete picture of the program you can get in one sitting, and the best place to ask about eligibility.
Career fairs
Find our table at your school's fair. Short conversations, straight answers, and a chance to put a face to the application.
Campus events
Workshops, case study nights, and events hosted with student organizations and academic departments. Usually the most interactive of the three.
Informational sessions
One hour, virtual, with live Q&A.
Spend an hour with our recruiting team. We walk through the program learning journey, the candidate profile we look for, how to choose your Academy, and then open it up for questions.
- Location. Virtual, via Microsoft Teams
- Length. One hour, including live Q&A
- Who should come. First-year college students graduating in 2030, and anyone advising them
[NEED: informational session dates and RSVP link for the 2029 Cohort: sessions planned across October and November; final dates and RSVP link to come from Talent & Recruiting.]

Ask someone who's actually done it
Scholar Ambassadors, on campuses around the country.
Our Scholar Ambassadors are current and former Greenwood Scholars on campuses around the country. They've completed the program, finished a summer internship, and built a real network at their school. If you want to know what the program actually feels like, ask one of them, not us.
We currently have Scholar Ambassadors at:
- DePaul University
- Dominican University
- Loyola University Chicago
- North Carolina A&T State University
- Northern Illinois University
- Rutgers University
- Saint Xavier University
- Spelman College
- University of Illinois Chicago
- University of Notre Dame
Want to talk to a Scholar at your school? Email recruiting@greenwoodproject.org and we'll connect you with an Ambassador who can tell you about their experience, their Academy, and how they balanced the program with a full course load.
What Scholars say
In their words, from the 2025 Impact Report.
“I reached out to Scholars and alumni, which confirmed the program would be a great fit. The structure lets me complete everything while balancing coursework, extracurriculars, and two on-campus jobs.”Jackson, Greenwood Scholar
“From professional to personal advice to technical training, GP has built up my skills in an irreplicable way. Through program coaches and constant mock interviews, I've learned to sell myself in interviews.”Frankie, Greenwood Scholar
“I appreciate how accessible the staff is when I have questions. I also like that we have a place where all Scholars can connect.”Niara, Greenwood Scholar
Bring Greenwood to your campus
For student orgs and college-access partners.
If you lead a student organization, or you work for a community organization that supports high school seniors as they transition into their first year of college, we'd like to hear from you. We host both in-person events, in the Chicago area only, and virtual events anywhere.
