Robinhood Expands Money Drills to Four University Campuses

Robinhood expands Money Drills to 4 new campuses, boosting financial literacy for students and student-athletes nationwide.

Robinhood’s Money Drills program is expanding to four additional campuses this fall, bringing financial education courses to students at the University of Delaware, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Pennsylvania State University, and Stanford University.

The initiative, launched more than two years ago, is already active at 11 schools nationwide. With its latest expansion, Robinhood continues its effort to equip students—especially athletes—with practical skills in budgeting, investing, credit management, and navigating income from name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities. University faculty design and teach the graduation-credit courses with support from Robinhood.

Chloe Barz, Senior Director of International Government and External Affairs at Robinhood Markets, Inc., said, “We welcome these schools into the Money Drills program with excitement and proudly help more students gain the skills they need to thrive as successful athletes and financially savvy adults.”

Surveys from current participants show the program’s impact: 96% of students reported improved ability to manage personal finances after completing Money Drills. Demand is especially high for lessons on taxes, investing, and debt management.

Leaders at the four new partner universities emphasized the program’s value. UNC–Chapel Hill’s Dr. Erianne A. Weight highlighted the importance of empowering athletes to manage finances during and beyond their playing careers. University of Delaware’s business dean Oliver Yao underscored the role of financial literacy in preparing students for life after graduation. At Penn State, Julie Heaton of the Sokolov-Miller Family Financial and Life Skills Center noted the tailored curriculum for Division I athletes, while Stanford’s Dr. Meredith E. Basil pointed to the growing importance of financial wellness in intercollegiate athletics.

In addition to its campus expansion, Robinhood announced a multi-year partnership with Stanford Athletics, marking its first collegiate athletic sponsorship. The company also joined forces with the Pro Athlete Community (PAC), extending its mission of financial empowerment to professional athletes preparing for careers beyond sports.

“Financial literacy matters because making money is only half the story,” said NFL veteran and PAC member Jamar Taylor. “It’s about knowing how to invest wisely, protect your assets, and build long-term stability.”
