Bonnie Baha, the portfolio manager at Jeffrey Gundlach’s DoubleLine Capital who died tragically in 2016, is being honored with a scholarship for women pursuing careers in finance.

In its inaugural year, the Bonnie Baha Memorial Scholarship Fund will award $10,000 to at least one woman enrolled in the master’s program at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. There are plans to expand to other schools.

A trailblazer in a male-dominated industry, Baha is also fondly remembered for incorporating a “family first” spirit among her colleagues — provided work was done and the quality was good, Monica Erickson, portfolio manager at DoubleLine, told The Post.

The flexibility Baha offered gave many female employees the “ability to stay in the game,” Erickson said, noting how many women drop out of finance careers.

She led the global development credit group at DoubleLine until she was killed by a car while walking with her family in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2016. She was 56.

“My mother was great at adding value to someone else’s life with her knowledge and time,” Bonnie’s daughter, Miriam Baha, told The Post. “I don’t know how she made it everywhere on time and with a smile.”
