Robinhood says it will teach 1 million students by 2030

Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) pledged to reach 1 million people with classroom-based financial education by 2030.

The pledge landed at its second annual Financial Education Summit in Washington, D.C. Leaders from academics, athletics and policy met on Capitol Hill. The plan is detailed in Robinhood Newsroom and covers grade school to college, teachers, athletes and nonprofits.

Chloe Barz, Senior Director of International Government and External Affairs at Robinhood Markets, said "We’re proud to announce our commitment to reach one million people with financial education through classroom-based programming by 2030." The company said the push scales existing classes and adds tailored in-person learning alongside digital tools.

Its signature is Money Drills. The program funds personal finance courses at 18 partner universities nationwide. The University of Arizona, Boise State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison joined in 2026. Students earn academic credit while learning timely money skills.

That means professors and coaches must fit finance into degree plans and practice calendars.

Olympic gold medalist Mia Hamm, compensated for the event, tied confidence to preparation and said early wealth now arrives before education catches up. The next test is Money Drills: Readiness for active duty service members facing civilian transition.

World Economic Forum research cited by Robinhood says learning by doing tops investment knowledge and financial institutions rank first as a source. Motley Fool noted event contracts show the company can develop entirely new revenue streams without relying solely on stock or crypto markets. The military course is slated to launch later this year.
