Student Honors Program
Overview of Student Honors Program

The SEC boasts a robust Student Honors Program in which students undertake assignments that directly support the SEC’s mission to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation through securities and financial market regulation.
The SEC’s Student Honors Program is a ten-week (unpaid) program for undergraduate, graduate, and law students to become acquainted with the regulation of the securities markets. Students work with SEC Staff members on projects covering a broad range of the Commission’s mission, such as conducting investigations of industry and issuer practices, assisting in the litigation of enforcement actions, and drafting proposed statutes and rules. SEC Staff members serve as professional mentors, assisting with research and writing projects, as well as providing advice and guidance on career development.
Students are invited to attend seminars, training workshops, and commission meetings as a part of their service at the SEC.
Program details
The Student Honors Program offers (unpaid) opportunities to students in Washington, D.C. and our 11 regional offices. In the regional offices, the honors students will typically be assigned to either the Division of Enforcement or the Division of Examinations (EXAMS).
The SEC is seeking bright, innovative, results-oriented individuals for the Student Honors Program in our Washington, DC Home and Regional Offices. We offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional students robust responsibilities and experiences that enhance their careers. Over the course of the program, students work with Commission staff on projects particular to the specific Division or Office to which they are assigned. Students also have the opportunity to participate in seminars/workshops, roundtable discussions, and a mentoring program that will provide detailed information and guidance on securities laws and regulations.
