Transform Your Future 

Financial Literacy

Our Financial Literacy Program equips student-athletes with the tools and knowledge they need to make smart financial decisions now and for the future.

Through interactive workshops, real-world scenarios, and mentorship from financial professionals, students learn how to budget, understand credit, manage loans, and start building healthy financial habits early. The program breaks down complex financial topics into relatable, easy-to-understand lessons — helping our youth gain the confidence to take control of their money and their future.

We’re not just teaching numbers we’re teaching empowerment. Because when student-athletes understand how to manage money, they’re better prepared for college, career, and life.
