Democratizing Access to Finance Careers

The New York City Collegiate Finance Association was founded on a simple belief: every motivated student, regardless of their university's brand name or their personal network, deserves access to the opportunities, knowledge, and connections needed to break into finance.

We bridge the gap between campus and career by creating a unified community across NYC's diverse universities, providing resources that were once reserved for students at a few elite programs, and fostering the professional relationships that define success on Wall Street.

Our members don't just learn about finance - they live it through real-world events, mentorship, and hands-on skill building alongside peers who share their ambition.

Our Core Values

Accessibility

Finance careers should be accessible to students from all backgrounds and universities.

Community

Together we are stronger. Cross-campus collaboration creates lasting professional bonds.

Excellence

We hold ourselves and our members to the highest professional standards.

Growth

Continuous learning and professional development are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Universities Involved

We're proud to have active members and campus representatives at 8 leading NYC institutions.

Each campus has dedicated representatives who organize local events, recruit members, and serve as your first point of contact. We're always looking to expand to new campuses across the city.

The NYCCFA Story

From a small group of students to NYC's growing inter-collegiate finance community.

Summer - Fall 2025

The Beginning

A group of finance-focused students from NYC universities realized they were all facing the same challenge: breaking into finance without the network. NYCCFA was born, and we hosted our first events, confirming what we already knew - NYC students needed this community.

Fall 2025

Rapid Growth & 8 Universities Strong

Membership grew to 73+ students across 8 universities. We launched our speaker series, established campus representatives, began our curated internship board, and members started landing internships at top firms.

Spring 2026

The Next Chapter

We're expanding our programming, building an alumni network, and setting the foundation to become NYC's premier inter-collegiate finance organization. The best is yet to come.
