The TSS Accounting Scholars program will work with college students to introduce them to career opportunities in the Accounting field. We encourage our scholars to strive to become part of something that is a little bit bigger than themselves. It is in this manner that they will stretch themselves and grow into excellence and achievement throughout their career.
The Street Smarts has established a Speaker’s series where finance industry leaders speak to high school and college students to encourage and educate them about their financial careers and the importance of money management skills. The Street Smarts will recruit potential future scholars at these events.
The Street Smarts will be working with high school students from the East Bay area, San Francisco, and in Chicago to introduce financial literacy concepts. Students who learn to manage their finances early and often become adults who are better equipped to live independently. By teaching young adults to make good financial decisions, they learn to pay down debt or avoid it altogether.

“You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It’s the language of business and it’s an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting – how to read and interpret financial statements – you really shouldn’t select stocks yourself.”
The Street Smarts (TSS) is an Oakland based nonprofit that provides a unique opportunity for historically disadvantaged youth to explore all aspects of financial and accounting management.
