September 2019 Newsletter
Please join us in welcoming our fourth class of Capital Market Scholars! This class includes 23 Scholars from 18 countries. 11 of the countries are new to the program, and half of this year’s Scholars are women. The Scholars are in their third week of classes at the George Washington University, and will have opportunities to network and learn from practitioners and policy experts throughout the fall semester.
First week in Washington, D.C. for our new class, August 2019
We are also thrilled to announce that our training program will be doubling next year, with an additional cohort arriving in January 2020. This expansion is a response to strong applicant demand, and aims to considerably boost the power of our alumni network. Moving to two cohorts per year will also create exciting opportunities for more countries, internship providers, and supporters to be involved.
