Capital One Launchpad: Legacy and Leadership Program

The Deadline has passed.  Applications are no longer being accepted.

Students will be notified of selection by the end of May.

In partnership with Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), Capital One is pleased to host the Capital One Launchpad: Legacy & Leadership Program.

Capital One Launchpad: Legacy & Leadership Program will offer 100 students an opportunity to embark on an extensive and immersive personal, professional, and technical development journey under the leadership of Capital One mentors.

Selected scholars will travel and participate in a Five-day immersion experience focusing on career exploration and professional development. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with designated Capital One mentors who will work to guide students toward a final capstone presentation that will conclude this week’s immersion. 

At Capital One, diversity, inclusion, and belonging are valued at our core. We empower our associates to do great work by creating an inclusive culture—those diverse values and perspectives foster collaboration and encourage innovative ideas—and a place where associates of all backgrounds can thrive by bringing their most authentic selves to work.
