Morgan Stanley Sustainable Finance Fellowship Program 2027 (Paid)

Deadline: November 13, 2026

Applications are invited for the Morgan Stanley Sustainable Finance Fellowship Program 2027. The Sustainable Finance Summer Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to work with Morgan Stanley teams that seek to drive capital toward investments that promote sustainable economic growth and scalable solutions to global challenges.

With support from across the Global Sustainability Office (GSO) and the Institute for Sustainable Investing, Morgan Stanley is dedicated to accelerating the adoption of sustainable investing, which seeks to deliver both competitive financial returns and positive environmental and social impact. GSO and the Institute partner across the Firm to pioneer scalable sustainable finance solutions, build new sustainable investing tools and generate industry-leading insights that inform and empower investors.

The 10-week Sustainable Finance Summer Fellowship runs from early June to mid-August and places current graduate students on sustainability- or impact-focused teams at Morgan Stanley. Each Fellow will be assigned to a team based on their interests, skills and Firm needs. Past placement teams have included the Global Sustainability Office, Global Capital Markets (GCM), Private Credit & Equity (PC&E) and Wealth Management Investing with Impact (IIP). This program requires in-person attendance for the full 10 weeks in Morgan Stanley’s New York City offices.
