Who can apply?
- U.S. citizenship and Selective Service registration, as the FDIC lists.
- At least a cumulative 3.25 GPA, maintained throughout the internship.
- Passing a background investigation and an automated writing assessment, and agreeing to very frequent overnight travel — up to four nights a week at most locations — and work at remote or multiple sites.
Up to four nights a week of overnight travel at most locations is a condition of the role. Check it against summer classes, family commitments or other work before you apply.
Dates, pay & program timing
Financial Management Scholars work 11 to 12 weeks during the summer in one of two tracks: Consumer Protection, assessing banks' compliance with lending and consumer protection laws, or Risk Management, examining institutions' safety, soundness and risk management practices. The program is aimed at students majoring in economics, business administration, finance, accounting or a related field, including mathematics and statistics. Positions are salaried, and scholars may be eligible for certain federal employee benefits. Those who complete the program and pass the writing assessment may be offered full-time positions starting after graduation. The page gives no application dates.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
The automated writing assessment matters twice: for entry and for a full-time offer. Practice writing a short, plain summary of a financial article in 20 minutes, then check it for clarity and errors. This is our suggestion, not an FDIC rule.
Mathematics and statistics majors are named as related fields. If you come from one, connect a statistics project to risk measurement when you talk to a recruiter.
