The SFEPD Class of 2026 🎓

This semester, we proudly celebrate a record number of SFEPD Student Ambassadors graduating from colleges and universities across the country.

These graduates have done more than earn their degrees: they have educated, empowered, and inspired their peers through financial literacy and leadership. From leading workshops to creating meaningful campus impact, they have helped advance SFEPD’s mission while preparing for bright futures of their own.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and grateful for the dedication they brought to the Student Ambassador Program.

Join us in congratulating the entire graduating class and wishing them continued success in all that comes next.
