Students across Columbia University
BSIF is open to students from Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, Barnard College, the School of General Studies, and graduate students, and neither your major nor your current level of investing knowledge determines whether you can participate.
The process
Four steps to get involved
Come to a meeting
You are welcome at open meetings even if you have not completed the form yet, so come by, ask questions, and get a feel for the community.
Get connected
After you submit, a member of the team can follow up with meeting information and help connect you to the email list and Slack.
Join a team
To participate on an investment team, submit your résumé and stay engaged, since consistent participation matters more than prior experience.
Good to know
Can I attend before applying?
Yes, open meetings are available even if you have not submitted the form or résumé yet.
Do I need investing experience?
No, BSIF is designed to help students learn from the beginning and continue developing technical skills over time.
Why submit a résumé?
It gives the club a consistent way to keep track of participants and organize investment teams, while its contents are not used as a pass or fail test.
