What is SAFE?

SAFE is the only program designed specifically FOR student-athletes BY a former student-athlete

Student-Athlete Financial Education (SAFE) is an innovative financial education and career development program designed for college student-athletes. SAFE USES REAL AND RELEVANT INFORMATION that is directly related to the lives of student athletes, such as the real value of their scholarship and the link between their academic discipline and the industry of sports.

WHY SAFE

SAFE educates students, making it easier for them to
“go pro in something else”

As the industry of college sports expands, the debate about the rights of student-athletes grows increasingly louder, with many calling for a more "professionalized" environment. While the argument has centered around "pay for play" and other benefits, SAFE mirrors the mission and goals of higher education, emphasizing the "student" experience. SAFE EDUCATES student-athletes about the monetary and intrinsic value of their scholarship and how to maximize their overall experience.

Whether a student-athlete goes professional in sports or "something else," understanding how to manage personal finances and developing disciplined strategies for growth are skills that must be learned long before they enter the workforce. SAFE DEVELOPS SKILLS that make the transition seamless.

HOW SAFE WORKS

Cutting edge technology and experiential learning

SAFE is an EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAM that uses cutting edge technology to customize content and engage students. There are no hypothetical scenarios. SAFE REMAINS RELEVANT throughout the student-athlete's college career, reflecting fluctuating financial climates, occupational prospects, emerging fields and trends and advanced networking tools.

LIFE LONG SKILLS

SAFE is not just a financial education program. It’s a true life skills program that presents a paradigm shift in how student-athletes understand their experience.
