Intuit Expands Free Financial Education Program to Colleges and Universities to Champion Student Success
More than 70% of students experience financial stress in college, and more than half of those students consider dropping out as a result. As financial literacy becomes increasingly critical for the future success of students, Intuit for Education will support college students through First Year Experience programs, financial wellness initiatives and specialized resources for student athletes. The expanded program will deliver free comprehensive personal and entrepreneurial education through an innovative, interactive curriculum, introducing new resources specifically tailored to meet the unique financial challenges and opportunities faced by college students.
"At Intuit, we believe that financial literacy is a fundamental life skill that should be accessible to all. Through Intuit for Education, we're excited to offer a flexible, interactive, and, most important, free financial literacy program to millions of college students and educators. With Intuit for Education, we hope to bridge the gap in financial education and help create a more financially secure future for all," said
Empowering Students Beyond the Classroom
This expansion of Intuit for Education builds on the company's broader commitment to financial literacy and business education, which includes targeted programs tailored to a wide variety of student needs:
- QuickBooks Online Curriculum – The Intuit QuickBooks Online curriculum is a free resource for educators, designed to provide their students with experiential learning and the ability to apply the theory they’ve learned to real-world scenarios such as business processes in a practical way through the use of essential financial and business management skills. This initiative also expands potential career opportunities for students and the ability to manage and grow their own business, or pursue a career in accounting.
- NIL Tax Empowerment Workshops – Intuit is expanding its support for student-athletes through in-person workshops and online resources. These initiatives focus on helping athletes understand the complexities of being paid for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). Led by TurboTax experts, these in-person and virtual sessions equip student-athletes with the essential tools and knowledge to dispel misconceptions and navigate the financial and tax implications of NIL deals. Participants will learn actionable strategies for building NIL deals and managing their money, empowering them to make informed decisions about their long-term financial planning. To date, TurboTax’s tax empowerment program has provided over 100,000 student-athletes with tax education, products, and resources to support their financial prosperity.
