YEI’s EARN program connects students with research and internship opportunities in finance, economics, and business, through a singular centralized application.
YEI EARN
Economics Achievement and Research Network
EARN is a highly selective program for members of YEI affiliated EconClubs who are truly passionate about economics and want to gain real-world experience. EARN leverages YEI’s connections to match motivated students with economics internships at top universities and companies.
After passing a rigorous application process conducted by the YEI EARN team, students will be added to a prospective intern database that is available to our partner organizations. From there, EARN students may be contacted by these organizations with internship opportunities.
Note that being accepted to EARN does not guarantee an internship position. All EARN applicants must be affiliated with a YEI EconClub. If you do not have a YEI EconClub at your school, you may apply to start one here.

Program Benefits
EARN provides economics students with opportunities to real-world experiences as well as access to a valuable community.

- Real-world experience
- EARN is one of the only programs that offer high schoolers the opportunity to gain real-world work experience, whether that’s assisting a professor with research at a world-class university or working as an intern at a top company.
- Community
- By joining the EARN program, you’ll become part of a curated community of highly motivated economics students. EARN members will have the opportunity to expand their network by connecting with fellow economics enthusiasts, researchers, and interns.
