About NPFIS

Our Story

Built by students who believed finance education should be for everyone.

Mission

Empowering students to take control of their financial futures.

NPFIS exists to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world finance. We create an environment where curiosity is welcomed, ambition is rewarded, and every student — regardless of major — can develop the skills needed to thrive in the financial world.

Origin

Founded by students, for students.

As a finance student at North Park University, one of our founders noticed there weren't many opportunities on campus to gain hands-on experience or connect with like-minded students. To bridge that gap, he teamed up with Temirlan Avtandilov and Mohamed Zarook Mohamed Shamri to start the North Park University Finance and Investment Society — now an officially approved Registered Student Organization (RSO) on campus.
