Since its inception, hundreds of students have completed the program, earning digital badge credentials that symbolize their mastery of personal finance skills and bolster their career readiness.
The certificate program, an extension of the highly regarded“Mind Over Money Skills” presentations, equips participants with essential knowledge in personal finance topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, managing credit, and planning for the future. To earn their digital badge-issued through Credly, an industry-leading credentialing platform-students must complete all eight modules and achieve a minimum score of 70% on assessments. In the Fall 2024 semester alone, 2,020 students from 36 different HBCUs successfully completed the program.

Through the program, students gain more than financial literacy; they develop practical skills that empower them to make informed decisions about their financial futures while enhancing their career prospects. The digital badge credentials can be shared on professional platforms like LinkedIn, signaling to employers that these students possess workforce-ready financial knowledge.
A Commitment to HBCU Excellence
The Financial Literacy Certificate Program underscores SFEPD's ongoing commitment to supporting HBCU students, many of whom are first-generation college attendees.“This program is about more than financial education. It's about creating opportunities for students to thrive both personally and professionally,” said Ted Daniels, SFEPD Founder & President.“We're incredibly proud of the dedication these students have shown and excited to see them use these skills to build brighter futures.”
