FARE Success Stories
Don’t just take our word for it—hear from those who’ve experienced the impact of being part of FARE.

I have been a part of FARE’s programming since my freshman year of college, and the experiences it has granted me are truly one of a kind. My involvement with FARE has given me tools to be successful in life post grad, and I would highly recommend for others students to get involved as early as possible.

DCIIA is proud to join our members and others in partnering with FARE to support its efforts to improve diversity in the financial industry…We have also benefited from the opportunity to attend FARE events such as HBCU Live to deepen our connections with a diverse talent pipeline.

Thanks to the FARE SIE Scholarship, I now have the tools to take my passion to the next level. This opportunity has paved the way for me to further immerse myself in the complexities of the financial world, and I’m excited to continue growing my knowledge as I embark on my upcoming role in private equity at Permira this summer. I’m so thankful to FARE for their belief in me, and I’m eager to continue pursuing my goals in the finance industry, making a meaningful impact and learning from the brightest minds along the way.

Receiving the FARE SIE Scholarship has been a transformative milestone in my career journey. As a first-year graduate student at Grambling State University, this opportunity has opened doors to invaluable resources, mentorship, and professional networks within the financial industry. The scholarship has provided not only financial support but also the confidence to pursue ambitious career goals in financial services, equipping me to become a leader and innovator in this space. I am incredibly grateful to FARE for empowering students like me to excel and make a meaningful impact.

Participating in the FARE mentorship program is one opportunity to give back and continue that cycle of investment, helping talented students pursue careers in financial services and honoring a culture and community that has blessed me in so many ways.

I remember listening to a podcast and the host asked, “Would you rather have money or have access?” I quickly decided that I would rather have access because access can be shared. As a Black man in the financial industry, I recognize the importance of providing opportunities to those who might not typically have access. FARE has provided a platform for us to share access to our network, resources, and insights with young Black students. Together we’re doing our part to make sure that this level of access benefits more individuals of color, more families of color, and more communities of color.
