We offer four distinct programs:

SEO SCHOLARS

More than 75% of current SEO Scholars are attending colleges and universities in a top-100 U.S. News & World reporting.

SEO CAREER

Approximately 80% of SEO Career interns receive full-time job offers from SEO Career partners before they graduate college. SEO Interns earn an average of $10,000 per summer. SEO Career partners with 80+ corporations and organizations offering summer internships

SEO LAW
The SEO Law Fellowship is the only program of its kind, offering talented, incoming, underrepresented law school students the opportunity to receive a paid internship at a top law firm the summer before law school. The SEO Law Fellowship program has an impressive network of more than 1,600+ SEO Law alumni, who have gone on to work as Chief Legal Officers, U.S. District Attorneys, Deputy/Assistant Attorneys General, U.S. District Court Judges, and U.S. Cabinet/Congress Members. SEO Law partners with more than 41 law firms in 12 cities across the U.S.

SEO ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS
The SEO Alternative Investments Fellowship Program (AIFP) educates, mentors, and provides access to first and second-year investment banking analysts traditionally underrepresented in the alternatives industry. In addition to the AIFP, SEO Alternative Investments also hosts the annual Alternative Investments Conference (AICON), which provides a day of educational panels and networking, increasing access and career development opportunities for professionals in the sector.
