Community-Centered Financial Education With a Wide Reach: Alimursal Ibrahimov
Alimursal (Ali) Ibrahimov, CFEI®, brings a research-driven, community-centered lens to advancing financial literacy across Texas. As the founder of LearnTheMoney, he develops and delivers research-based, practical financial education programs for students, community members, and justice-involved individuals, including women in county jail, with a focus on real-world application and long-term impact. In his professional role as a Financial Analyst II at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Ibrahimov supports budget strategy and financial reporting across multiple academic units, experience that gives him deep insight into how financial systems and resource decisions affect people’s lives and opportunities.
Ibrahimov is a PhD candidate in Curriculum and Instruction (Instructional Design and Educational Technology) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, where his scholarly work centers on how to design learning experiences that are accessible, engaging, and effective for diverse adult learners. At the same time, he is completing a Master of Liberal Arts in Finance at Harvard University, integrating advanced financial theory with practical pedagogy to bridge the gap between academic research and community needs. He holds the Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI®) designation from the National Financial Educators Council, underscoring his commitment to high standards of instructional quality and ethical practice in financial education.
His program “Second Chance Money Skills,” part of LearnTheMoney, was named the global winner of the “Closing the Gender Gap” category at the 2026 Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIAs) – a prestigious, globally recognized awards program that draws entries from more than 40 countries and is judged by an international panel of leading financial literacy experts. This recognition reflects both the quality of the curriculum and its real-world impact on women navigating reentry and rebuilding their financial lives. Ibrahimov was also selected as one of only about 20 scholars worldwide to attend Stanford’s Financial Literacy Research Boot Camp, and he has shared his work and perspective through a TEDx talk that explores the intersection of financial literacy, behavioral psychology, and storytelling. His projects and advocacy have been featured in both local and global media, including coverage by Benzinga and one of the largest news outlets in Corpus Christi, which have highlighted his efforts to build financial literacy infrastructure where it is needed most.His program “Second Chance Money Skills,” part of LearnTheMoney, was named the global winner of the “Closing the Gender Gap” category at the 2026 Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIAs) – a prestigious, globally recognized awards program that draws entries from more than 40 countries and is judged by an international panel of leading financial literacy experts.

Across Texas, Ibrahimov designs and delivers financial literacy programs that meet learners where they are, including community bootcamps, campus workshops, and classes inside the Nueces County Jail. His instruction emphasizes practical skills like budgeting, debt management, credit, saving, and planning for life after release so that participants leave with tools they can begin using immediately to stabilize and improve their financial lives. Through these efforts, he works to build sustainable financial literacy infrastructure that communities can rely on, long after a single class or workshop ends.
