2025 NXT SEASON RECAP
"NXT" is recognized as a leading team for college partners emphasizing early recruitment for Sophomore Summer Analyst roles across various industries. The NXT roster for 2025 included an exclusive group of 75 dynamic first-year athletes. Notably, 56% of NXT Fellows successfully advanced to Phase 2 of the 2025 Winter League competition.
These top performers are well-positioned to secure highly competitive offers for Early Insight Programs or sophomore internships by the end of the calendar year, following a tradition of NXT alumni who leveraged the fellowship as a launchpad during their freshman year to secure a prestigious internship offer during their sophomore year.
We are proud to announce that six outstanding alumni from our 2024 NXT roster recently secured offers at Wells Fargo for the Summer 2025 Discovery Fellowship and the Summer 2026 Summer Analyst Program. This remarkable achievement highlights the significant and positive impact of Wells Fargo's title sponsorship on our NXT Fellows.
