Athletes Invest
Education Program

By Student-Athletes, For Student-Athletes

At the core of Athletes Invest is our education program, where students are introduced to topics ranging from fundamental financial concepts to more advanced financial modeling and analysis techniques. This program is tailored to suit the prior commitments of student-athletes, offering a more flexible and approachable alternative than current on-campus offerings. 

To supplement this classroom-style education program, we plan to offer alumni-led workshops, providing members with a first-hand look at how professionals understand these concepts.
