[MS Finance] AFCPE Awards Scholarship Funds for SFE&PD's Student Ambassadors

[Srinivas Nippani]

Hello Students,

If any of you are interested in this, please reach out to me or Dr. Gomez.  Please see below.

SFE&PD trains the Student Ambassadors in personal financial concepts to enable them to lead and teach engaging financial classes to fellow students. Our Ambassadors are mentored by business school professors and SFE&PD to help them create their own lessons plans for interactive workshops and presentations. In this way, the students develop leadership skills and act as champions of financial literacy on their college campuses. Student Ambassadors coordinate educational events, teach financial literacy classes, and develop programs to reach their peers. Financial workshops include topics of interest to college students: credit management, student loan management, budgeting, saving and investing, and financial goal setting.
SFE&PD appreciates the generous support of corporate sponsors and donors who fund the Student Ambassador Project so that students gain financial skills that can last a lifetime. As word of our engaging student-centered project grows, universities continue to contact us to ask to start a Student Ambassador Program at their schools.
SFE&PD Student Ambassador Program Goals:
❖ Infuse financial literacy into college students’ education through peer-to-peer learning,
❖ Expand the impact of SFE&PD and its partners’ financial education programs,
❖ Establish lasting financial literacy programs on HBCU campuses,

❖ Reduce student loan defaults, and
❖ Change the financial behavior of communities at large
