Pre-Professional Internships for Georgia College Students
Robert Stowe, M.Ed. | President
Foxholm Financial offers academic-credit internships for students at Georgia universities. Our fellowships are structured, remote educational experiences at the intersection of investment advisory operations, quantitative analysis, and regulatory compliance. Fellows work on hands-on projects within an active investment advisory firm.
Our Commitment to Education
As a fee-only fiduciary, Foxholm Financial operates differently from traditional financial firms. We do not employ salespeople or push products. This creates a unique educational environment where fellows focus on genuine skill-building rather than revenue generation.
Unlike firms that outsource investment management to third-party model providers, Foxholm Financial builds its strategies in-house. This gives fellows direct access to the "engine room" of an advisory firm, seeing exactly how decisions are made, risk is monitored, and model portfolios are constructed.
Our fellowship program reflects this philosophy: we invest in the next generation of finance professionals by providing substantive work experience, professional credential sponsorship, and direct executive mentorship. Fellows work on exploratory projects and proof-of-concept exercises while building portable skills and credentials valuable throughout their careers.
The Boutique RIA Advantage
At a boutique firm, there is no back-office rotation. Fellows observe and learn from live operations from day one, gaining visibility into every aspect of running an investment advisory firm: compliance, operations, quantitative analysis, and investment strategy.
Internship Tracks
Foxholm Financial offers a Quantitative Investment Fellowship: a 12-week, for-credit internship at the intersection of investment advisory, data science, and regulatory practice. Each cohort is conducted remotely with asynchronous work and weekly synchronous check-ins.

About the Program
This is an unpaid college internship structured for academic credit in compliance with FLSA guidelines. Fellows are the primary beneficiaries of the educational experience. Foxholm Financial is a state-registered Investment Adviser (RIA), not a broker-dealer. We do not sponsor Series 7 licenses. Instead, we focus on the Investment Adviser ecosystem, providing fellows with portable credentials valid at any financial firm in the country. We operate a "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) remote environment supporting both Mac and PC workflows.
