Student Ambassadors

The Champions for Financial Legacy Student Ambassador Program selects driven student leaders from HBCUs to champion wealth building on their campuses. These ambassadors are empowered to promote financial fluency, foster community, and support personal and professional growth. Through training and outreach, they spread awareness of a course designed to equip students with lifelong skills to build and sustain generational wealth within historically underserved communities.
