Financial Education Initiative

Knowledge of economics and personal finance is vitally important to the success of our students and the economy. Students are graduating high schools lacking the basic economic and personal finance skills to compete in the global economy.

Financial Education Initiative offers new ways of integrating financial literacy into the existing K-12 curriculum in all schools - especially in school districts that do not require any economics and personal finance content.

Financial content and lessons are applicable to all schools in all states. Some states already have strong legislation in place that emphasize financial literacy as a high school requirement. Through this initiative, financial education teachers can obtain resources and business connections to most effectively teach this content in a way that empowers students and excites them about their own economic futures.
