Texas State runs financial literacy sessions for student-athletes, but engagement was a challenge.
Before Cashy, participation was low and energy in the room was flat.
Once they started using Cashy through UFCU, the difference was immediate.
What used to feel like another required session became something athletes actually wanted to take part in.
Cashy turns financial literacy into a hands-on experience. Students make decisions inside the game and see outcomes play out in real time.
That experience opens the door for real conversations around money, choices, and the future — without forcing students through a lecture or slideshow.
For Texas State, Cashy didn’t just increase engagement — it changed how financial education feels.
Cashy helped turn low-energy sessions into interactive experiences where student-athletes are active, focused, and excited to participate.
Texas State has been using Cashy for the past two years, and over that time it’s changed how financial education shows up for student-athletes.
What started as a way to boost participation has turned into a more effective, consistent approach to teaching real-life money topics. Sessions feel less like a requirement and more like an experience students want to be part of.
For Brandon and his team, Cashy isn’t just about today’s sessions. It’s become part of how they think about financial education going forward — interactive, hands-on, and built for the way students actually learn.
