What We Provide for Higher Education Institutions

The Power of Your Money gives colleges and universities a turnkey financial literacy solution that strengthens student success, retention, and long-term economic mobility. We partner with institutions to deliver a culturally relevant, academically sound program that blends instruction, technology, and real-world application.


Our Higher-Ed Offering Includes:

A Full, Credit-Ready Curriculum

A complete financial literacy course designed for easy integration into freshman orientation, first-year experience programs, or general education pathways. All modules are built with measurable learning outcomes and can be taught by campus faculty or POYM instructors.

Culturally Relevant Instruction

Our content speaks directly to the lived experiences of Black students, first-generation learners, and young adults navigating complex financial systems for the first time. We teach not just the mechanics of money, but the psychology and cultural context that shape financial behavior.

Instructor Resources and Teaching Tools

We supply campuses with slides, lesson plans, assignments, assessments, and discussion guides, making delivery seamless for faculty. Everything is built to reduce prep time and maintain instructional quality session after session.

Student Workbooks and Digital Materials

Each student receives a guided workbook plus digital learning materials that reinforce financial skills through reflection, action steps, and real-life scenarios.

Hands-On Application and Real Banking Access

We help students open accounts at trusted Black-owned and minority-serving financial institutions. This bridges academic learning with real financial infrastructure, giving students the tools to build wealth immediately.

Institutional Reporting and Measurable Outcomes

Our program tracks student engagement, knowledge gains, and financial behavior improvements. Institutions receive data that supports accreditation standards, retention initiatives, and student success metrics.

Flexible Delivery Models

POYM can support in-person, hybrid, or fully online course structures. Whether a university wants a full semester, a 6–8 week mini-course, or an orientation-based experience, the program adapts to institutional needs.

Scalable, Long-Term Partnership

We offer multi-year implementation plans that allow universities to roll out the program to entire freshman classes, student-athlete groups, TRIO programs, or broader campus communities.
