Voya Scholars for Investment Management Program
Deadline to apply: April 30, 2025 11:59 pm CT

Voya Investment Management has established a scholarship program with the goal to award scholarships to third-year undergraduate students. Individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in the financial services industry are preferred.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the Voya Scholars for Investment Management Program must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Plan to enroll full-time as a 3rd year undergraduate (junior) in an accredited four-year public or private college or university for the entire upcoming academic year
  • Be referred to apply via an in-person or virtual event hosted by Voya Investment Management or Voya Ambassadors

Selection of Finalists

Scholarship finalists are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record (33%)
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals and objectives, unusual personal or family circumstances (33%)
  • Financial need (33%)

Preference will be given to students expressing an interest in a future career in the financial services industry including all relevant fields of study (financial technology, economics, data and analytics, marketing, sales, communications, etc.).

Assuming there are qualified applicants, Scholarship America will select up to fifteen (15) finalists. Selected finalists will be required to submit a video (two minutes maximum) in response to essay questions provided by Voya Investment Management. The review committee will evaluate finalists. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Awards

Voya will select up to 2 (two) individuals as scholarship recipients. If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $10,000 award for their junior year. Awards are renewable one year; Scholars who remain in good academic standing may receive an additional award for their senior year of $10,000. Awards are for undergraduate only.

Recipients are eligible for mentorship and priority consideration for internships and full-time career opportunities at Voya Investment Management. Employment opportunities will depend on availability and are not guaranteed.
