PROVIDING PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
the importance of financial literacy
With our lead educator being the Personal Financial Literacy Coordinator for the New Jersey Department of Education, our goal is to help student-athletes be more financially prepared for life after college, wherever their paths may take them.
They will learn how to understand, and use, skills such as; financial management, budgeting, investing and saving for retirement.
According to a 2019 NCAA Convention presentation, "without basic financial literacy, student-athletes, who are managing between different sources of income and how they use it, are at risk of increased stress and anxiety levels."
A study from a team led by University of Georgia's Kenneth J. White found that, "when student athletes had greater levels of financial knowledge, their financial confidence increased at a higher rate than student non-athletes."
