Who we are

Fintech Scholars is a student-led nonprofit academy dedicated to teaching finance and technology to high school and college students for free. Our mission is to equip the next generation of leaders with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of finance and technology.

Background

Fintech Scholars was founded in June 2025 by a group of high school and college students with a shared vision: to make finance and technology education accessible to all young learners. The organization was created as a student-led nonprofit academy focused on closing gaps in financial literacy and technological skills, providing engaging programs that empower students to learn, explore, and apply knowledge in real-world contexts.

Guided by collaboration, mentorship, and innovation, Fintech Scholars continues to grow as a community that equips students with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in education, careers, and beyond.
