Financial Education Impact To Empower Future Generations
Our Mission
Financial Empowerment
At Fifth Third Bank our purpose is to improve lives and the well-being of our communities. We believe in doing well by doing good and that belief propels our community commitments, including our focus on building financial capacity for students. In 1948, we became the first financial institution in the United States to establish a charitable foundation. Today, we continue to help improve lives and we are a leader in financial education programming in the communities we serve.
THE COURSES
Empowering Your Students’ Financial Future

Finance Academy explained how to make a pitch accurately and proficiently. Though becoming an entrepreneur is not a passion of mine, knowing how to professionally persuade someone can come in handy at any time. Thus, practicing and being educated on making a pitch will prepare me for my career as a nuclear physicist.”
