BlackRock for Universities
Shaping the future of fintech and investments
BlackRock for Universities (BLK4U) is a unique educational initiative designed to teach the principles of portfolio construction to the next generation of fintech and investment professionals. The program was born from the innovative spirit of the 2020 Atlanta Hackathon.
