In this 18-month research project, we have an opportunity to discover the best ways to deliver financial and investment education to students on the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
UNCFSP has conducted focus groups with students and stakeholders (faculty, administration and alumni/ae) on three campuses: University of the District of Columbia, Coppin University, and Howard University. The data from the focus groups will help us determine what questions should be asked on a survey that will be administered to students on 25 HBCU campuses in the fall. The survey will be piloted at University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to see if any changes need to be made before administering the survey on the 25 campuses.
In addition, small groups of students are being formed that will review existing financial and investment education products to determine which of them can be used in a wealth-building program on HBCU campuses.
The final activity of the research phase of FAT POCKETS will be to use the data from the focus groups, survey, telephone interviews with stakeholders, and the student evaluators to develop a wealth-building program designed specifically to meet the needs of students at HBCUs.
