    AIG Life & Retirement, a division of American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG), today announced the kick-off of a community-based program created to support and provide financial education and career opportunities for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and high schools in the Greater Houston area. This new multi-faceted initiative, “FutureU Scholars,” is an extension of the organization’s commitment to taking concrete actions to achieve lasting change through its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

    “We believe that all individuals should have the opportunity and access to the educational tools needed to build the financial future of their dreams, and our program is designed to do just that for our participating students,” said Alan Smith, head of human resources for AIG Life & Retirement. “At AIG Life & Retirement, we are committed to bringing financial health and opportunity within reach for all and are honored to have this opportunity to invest in the future of the next generation.”

    A pilot program for this initiative began last fall through a collaboration with EVERFI, a leading social impact education innovator, and public high schools throughout Harris County, Texas. The program, which has already reached over 5,000 students, brings financial literacy courses to high schools throughout the County to empower them to make informed, goal-oriented decisions about their financial futures. As part of this effort, AIG Life & Retirement and EVERFI co-developed a new course for participating students called Grow: Financial Planning for Life, which arms students with the skills and knowledge needed to make strong decisions for their financial futures such as building smart money habits, budgeting, retirement planning and more.

    To further engage students with these newly developed resources, AIG Life & Retirement employees, including members of the company’s Black Professionals and Allies Employee Resource Group, are hosting virtual financial literacy events with students from Booker T. Washington High School and Sam Houston Math, Science and Technology Center, centered around Grow’s themes. These sessions include interactive financial planning activities, student Q&As and panel discussions where employees share insight and personal anecdotes around the importance of setting financial goals, preparing for college and careers, and guidance around how students can start implementing smart money habits now.
