There are two methods for applying to the Financial Development Program (FDP), depending on which college candidates attend.

Method 1: Students attending “targeted schools” -- University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign), Indiana University (Bloomington), Northern Illinois University, University of Notre Dame (Indiana),and Miami University (Ohio) -- should visit their college placement office to determine when representatives from Baxter will be on campus and sign up for interviews.

Method 2: If students attend other universities and meet the FDP qualifications, they may add their résumés to the career database by clicking the Career Database link, where candidates may log in and submit their resume. The FDP program manager will be notified of the interest and will contact students if their skills match the FDP needs.
