Albert and the LA Sparks celebrate back-to-school at Scholarship Prep South Bay
Sep 2, 2026
On September 2, we joined the LA Sparks at Scholarship Prep South Bay in Wilmington for a back-to-school afternoon with students, families, and staff, and to celebrate the unveiling of a new refurbished basketball court for the school. The day included a pep rally, a ribbon-cutting, a carnival with school supplies and a hands-on budgeting activity using “Al-bills”, and a basketball clinic with the Sparks. Down the road, the school will also be using some of the leftover funds from our refurbishment to upgrade their tech center equipment. We also shared one more surprise during the event: Albert is committing $130,000 over four years to Scholarship Prep South Bay. The commitment allows flexibility for the school to use the funding where it’s needed most as those needs change over time. At Albert, we want money to feel handled. We wanted this work to give the Scholarship Prep South Bay community some of that same feeling: a few concrete needs taken care of now, plus support they can use for whatever comes next, so students, families and staff can focus on the year ahead. Our mission is to help people make smart financial decisions, which starts with education. Scholarship Prep South Bay is one of three school communities we’re supporting this back-to-school season, alongside schools in Atlanta and Dallas. — Trademarks and logos are the property of their respective owners and do not represent endorsements of any kind.

Forecasting connects to your full financial picture inside Albert and projects forward so you can prepare for life’s big moments and stay on track with your goals. Forecasting is available now for customers on the Genius plan. Visit our help center for current pricing information. To try it, head to the budgeting tab and swipe to "Forecast." Source: Albert

Genius doesn’t just understand money — it understands your money and takes the friction and mental load out of managing it.

By seamlessly working in the background, Genius doesn't just leave consumers with advice; it takes action, so managing money doesn't feel like a full-time job." Genius brings together money management, automation, and everyday assistance in one place: Most apps show your data. Most AI tools answer questions.
