Selective Admission · By Application Only · No Prerequisites
The BuySide Fellowship
The highest tier of engagement with BuySide Studio. A small, vetted cohort of ambitious students and early-career professionals selected each cycle for an intensive, long-term coaching relationship. This is not a course you enroll in — it is a place you are admitted to.
“The Fellowship is not for everyone. It is for the person who refuses to leave their future to chance.”
Most people preparing for finance careers rely on résumés, GPA, and hope. BuySide Fellows operate differently. They enter the process with a strategy, a network, and a professional who is in their corner from day one.
The Fellowship is open to any serious candidate — whether you’re a college student targeting your first finance internship or an early-career professional looking to move into the buy side. What matters is not where you are. It’s where you intend to go, and whether you’re willing to do the work to get there.
Acceptance is selective. Pricing is private. The commitment is serious. Those qualities are by design.
A word from our team
Why the Fellowship exists.
“We built the Fellowship because there is a group of people who need more than a class. They need a partner who is invested in their outcome.”
Our team speaks directly to candidates and families considering the Fellowship — what it is, what the commitment looks like, and what it means to be selected.
If you’re on the fence about applying, watch this first.
