Vista Frontier Fellows Program

We invest in and grow companies at the forefront of change, and our success is dependent on our people. The Vista Frontier Fellows program is designed to ensure we are creating opportunities for those who have traditionally been underrepresented in private equity.

Excel With Vista

At Vista, we pride ourselves on attracting and developing top talent across our firm and portfolio of companies. The Vista Frontier Fellows program creates career opportunities for exceptional undergraduate students who come from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds in private equity (Women, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx and/or American Indian). Fellows will participate in Vista’s leading private equity summer internship program, where they will learn, grow and gain hands-on transaction experience. Additionally, Fellows will be assigned a mentor, receive direct feedback and have an opportunity to participate in various networking, social and educational events. Selected Fellows will be awarded a scholarship of $25,000 at the close of the program and are eligible for full-time analyst opportunities.
