For the fourth year in a row, ten BlackRock Hallac Scholarship finalists from Georgia Tech were extended internship offers to work at BlackRock in summer 2026. BlackRock is the nation’s largest public asset management firm, and internships in this organization are difficult to come by.
The BlackRock Hallac Scholarship, a legacy to the late Charles S. Hallac, provides a full-ride scholarship to two exceptional Georgia Tech students of reduced means each year.
The Georgia Tech Career Center offers coaching for the first-year students who apply for the scholarship to help prepare them to meet with high-level executives in the firm. Students who are granted interviews are not only interviewing for the scholarship, but also for the possibility of interning.
“Each year, the Career Center guides students who apply to the BlackRock Hallac Scholarship through six to seven weeks of preparation activities to ensure they have the tools and skillsets needed to represent themselves well during the interviews,” said Laura Garcia, Director of Undergraduate Career Education in the Georgia Tech Career Center. “These activities include resume writing, interviewing, etiquette prep, and more.”
“Without the Georgia Tech Career Center, I don’t think I would have been as prepared or confident,” said Oreoluwa Moradeyo, an electrical engineering major selected for the 2026 internship. “Being selected for this experience ensures that I am in the best position to grow.”
“My experience with the Georgia Tech Career Center has been outstanding,” said Luis Sanchez, an aerospace engineering major also selected for the 2026 internship. “They genuinely cared about my development and helped me feel more confident and prepared as I navigated the interview process.”
When asked what advice they would give to students considering applying to the scholarship, Luis offered, “Prepare thoroughly, be genuine, and trust that your story and experiences are valuable.”
“Definitely do it!” Oreoluwa added. “An entity like BlackRock can be a bit daunting, but this opportunity represents BlackRock’s commitment to empowering people who love to learn. As long as you are a devoted learner, you are good enough.”
