Jay-Z and Beyoncé have long supported historically Black universities and their students, and the rapper’s latest move is no exception.
The Shawn Carter Foundation, founded by Jay-Z and his mom Gloria Carter, has connected with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for a financial education initiative to empower historically Black university students and surrounding communities.
With support from Toyota Motor North America, the Jay-Z-led foundation and Wharton School’s Coalition for Equity and Opportunity have launched Champions for Financial Legacy. The initiative is modeled after Bridges to Wealth, a financial education and wealth-building program taught by Wharton professor Keith Weigelt.
According to the Shawn Carter Foundation, the new program’s curriculum includes “real-world applications and service-learning components allowing students to apply their financial knowledge in community settings, thereby expanding the ecosystem of wealth-building and fostering local development.”
Providing students with the tools necessary for “economic success and social mobility,” the program’s lessons will teach budgeting, market risks and returns, mutual funds, credit scores, stock markets, and other financial skills.
The inaugural program will begin in spring 2025 at Missouri’s Lincoln University, Virginia’s Norfolk State University, and Virginia State University, with expansion plans to reach other HBCUs.
Champions for Financial Legacy isn’t the first collaboration between the Shawn Carter Foundation and Toyota Motor North America, which has long backed the former’s annual HBCU Bus Tour.
“We are excited to see our partnership with the Shawn Carter Foundation evolve to include this innovative initiative,” Monica Womack, general manager of diversity and inclusion and community engagement at Toyota, said in a press release shared with Complex. “One that not only provides resources to HBCU students but also reaches the heart of the community, through advocacy for financial literacy.”
Gloria Carter, who serves as the CEO for the Shawn Carter Foundation, said she and her colleagues are “so excited” to see Champions for Financial Legacy come to life.
“Every day at the Shawn Carter Foundation, we dedicate ourselves to uplifting students and communities that are underserved,” Carter said in the press release. “To launch a financial education program that will reach more students and communities, along with dedicated partners like Toyota and the Wharton School of Business, is a vision we are finally seeing come to fruition.”
