Citi Diversity Scholars Program for Sophomores

Program Description and Structure
The Institutional Clients Group Diversity Scholars Program was developed to attract high caliber minority and female talent to Citi.  Individuals will be selected for the program on a competitive basis.  Our selection process is rigorous, and we look for a number of the same qualities in our scholars that we consider essential for a successful career in Citi’s Institutional Clients Group.  We look for a combination of academic and leadership excellence coupled with experiences and personal qualities that indicate an individual’s potential to thoroughly benefit from the program and excel in the field of financial services.
The program’s structure and eligibility criteria are as follows:

  • Recipients will be granted a paid 10-week summer internship opportunity during the summer before their junior year within a business in the Institutional Clients Group division. 
  • Group placement is based on business needs as well as personal interest. 
  • Recipients are eligible to receive a one-time taxable award of up to $10,000.  Award amounts will be based on: successful completion of the internship, performance and impact, attitude, work ethic and summer performance reviews
  • Recipients are also eligible to receive and will be considered for an additional one-time taxable award of up to $5,000 based on overall summer performance and contingent upon receiving and accepting an offer of employment at the end of the summer to join one of our summer junior analyst programs
  • Awards will be paid directly to each recipient at the end of the internship.  The award will be considered income and is generally subject to federal, state and local income taxes.

Successful Sophomore Analysts will be considered for our Junior Analyst programs and for our ICG Diversity Scholars Program for Juniors.  To learn more about the Citi’s Diversity Scholars Program for Juniors and our diversity partners, please visit: http://oncampus.citi.com/about_us/our_culture/diversity/north_america.aspx.
