Leadership Development Program

SOF’s Leadership Development Program (LDP) aims to cultivate a new generation of finance leaders. Open to freshmen and sophomores, the program is the primary gateway for students looking to join SOF and gain official membership.

Over 8 weeks, candidates will explore SOF’s core values while refining their own goals and values. The program aims to cultivate the skills required to excel in academic and career contexts. Additionally, candidates will receive one-on-one mentorship and professional development support through upperclassmen-led workshops. Upon completing the program, graduates join an unparalleled national network of SOF members and finance professionals.

The program accepts a limited number of students every Fall and Spring semester. To learn more about applying, please visit our Application Process or coffee chat with a member of our E-Board.

Applications are closed and will re-open for the Spring 2025 semester on February 9th. Interested students are encouraged to attend general meetings and coffee chat with E-Board members.
