Since its inception, the Boxwood Internship Program ("BIP") has hosted more than 80 interns from 25 universities across the firm's three offices. In its first year participating in the rankings, Boxwood was named one of the Top 10 Best Investment Banking Internships in the United States, securing the #10 spot for 2026.

• #25 – Overall Career Development

Vault's annual rankings are based on survey data from more than 17,000 interns across North America, who rate their programs on key factors such as career development, quality of assignments, mentorship, and firm culture.

"Over the past decade, we've built an internship program that reflects who we are at Boxwood — one that emphasizes collaboration, real-world learning, and personalized coaching from senior bankers," said Brian Alas, Managing Director at Boxwood Partners. "We're truly appreciative to be recognized on this list and grateful for all the effort that has gone into developing the program. It's incredibly rewarding to see our interns — both past and recent — take the lessons learned here and continue to succeed, carrying forward the values that define our culture while advancing their own careers."

The Boxwood Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to experience the M&A process firsthand, offering exposure to live transactions, case studies, and financial modeling in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. Each intern is paired with senior mentors who provide personalized coaching and guidance throughout the summer.

"Boxwood's growth has always been fueled by investing in people," added J. Patrick Galleher, Managing Partner at Boxwood Partners. "Our internship program is designed to give aspiring finance professionals meaningful, hands-on experience while maintaining the close-knit culture that defines our firm."
