SFEPD Celebrates Success of Groundbreaking Financial Literacy Certificate Program for HBCU Students

SFEPD proudly celebrates the remarkable success of its recently launched 8-part Financial Literacy Certificate Program, designed exclusively for students at HBCUs. Since its inception, over 2,000 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.
