Time to even the score.

While college athletes can now make money by selling their name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights, female athletes are getting fewer opportunities and less compensation than their male peers. It’s time we give them a fair shot.

Women’s equity is the name of the game.

The numbers don’t lie. NCAA Division I male athletes are out earning Division I female athletes in NIL compensation by a long shot. H&R Block is committing millions of dollars to help level the playing field.

Get the details

men 62.7% women 37.3% total compensation comparison

Everyone should get every dollar they deserve – not just during Tax Season.

H&R Block is championing equity in college sports by committing millions of dollars in sponsorship support and tax prep assistance to female athletes. We’re teaming up with female college athletes lending their voices to this important cause.
