Marsai Martin’s Foundation Partners With FICO To Launch Financial Empowerment Fellowship

Marsai Martin’s foundation, Seeds of Fortune Inc and FICO are teaming up to launch the FICO Financial Empowerment Fellowship. The fellowship aims to empower students through scholarships, financial education, and opportunities, according to its website.

Marsai Martin’s foundation

In 2025, Martin and her Marsai’s Way Foundation teamed up with the nonprofit Seeds of Fortune Inc. to empower 10,000 young women through financial education and wealth-building initiatives over the next three years.

The partnership launched at the Seed Forum: Women of Colour Creating Wealth Summit, an event designed to address the racial and gender wealth gap by providing young women with opportunities to meet industry leaders who will empower them to become financial leaders.

“This partnership is about more than just finances—it’s about creating freedom,” Martin said. “I want girls who look like me to know they can own their futures, build wealth, and become leaders in every room they walk into.”

The FICO Financial Empowerment Fellowship

Now, both Marsai’s Way Foundation and Seeds of Fortune Inc are collaborating with FICO to empower students to become financial leaders. Each student chosen for the programme will receive a $1,500 Scholarship and develop financial literacy and leadership skills to uplift their communities.

Successful applicants will also attend an exclusive event in Atlanta during Martin Luther King Week, where they will have the chance to network with other students and meet Marsai Martin.

Students enrolled at a two-year or four-year college or university in the US can apply here.
