Any advice on what to do between now and July... (finance major, considering studying for CFA). I know it's a very vague question; I apologize for that.

Perfect time for CFA studying.
If you pass, it will help you a lot in landing a good internship.

The CFA is a wonderful certification if you intend on staying in the field of finance. I've seen it most helpful in investment banking or corporate finance jobs. What has kept me from pursuing it is the fact that few employers in the Louisiana area have even heard of the CFA and therefore do not value it as highly as other areas.

You could benefit from participating in a finance internship until then. You could gain some valuable work experience in the mean-time and there could be opportunity to stay on part-time during your graduate career. Just a thought!

Plan A was somehow finding a relative internship. Seems like an internship in finance is extremely tough to find in Baton Rouge for such a selective time such as February-May, I've tried. Plan B is the CFA I suppose.

If you'd be interested in driving to Hammond to intern I may be able to forward your resume over to a bank there. I can't make any promises but it could be worthwhile.

My old boss has a history/biology degree and he is a CFA.
