Bank on it: A Babson Financial Literacy Experience in Miami

Money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about mindset. Bank on It: A Babson Financial Literacy Experience is a two-day immersive program designed to equip high school students with the financial knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking they need to make smart money decisions and seize opportunities.

Through interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and engaging discussions led by Babson-trained experts and accomplished entrepreneurs, students will learn to manage their finances with confidence while developing the problem-solving, risk-taking, and creative thinking skills that define an entrepreneurial leader.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make the June, 2026 Bank On It experience such a great success!

Our students spent two days getting hands-on with the decisions that become part of our day-to-day lives.

They dug into how credit really works, why it matters to understand it early, how investing is more than just saving money…it’s about building wealth, and they learned from our Babson Financial Literacy project faculty, as well as alumni and industry leaders.

The students left with more confidence about their financial future…and ahead of the curve!
