Financial Integrity Mentorship Program "Building Capacity for Financial Success
and Independence"
The Financial Integrity Mentorship Program utilizes a combination of education (academic and financial), mentoring, and resources to increase students’ capacities to provide for themselves as adults.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in the program?
Among other opportunities, this program provides financial incentives for students’ passing grades. Because academic achievement and future ability to earn a wage are strongly correlated, students are empowered as they experience their ability to provide for themselves. Students may use their money to buy their first car, pay insurance, go to college, rent an apartment, etc. At least 50% of their money is held in a savings account until their High School graduation. The other 50% is spent on durable items during supervised shopping trips. This long-term program also provides intensive in-home tutoring, financial education, life skills training, leadership development, and mentoring.
