Financial Education

Why financial education matters?

Only 43% of parents describe themselves as "well-prepared" to have conversations with their children about money.
47% of Americans would have difficulty coming up with $400 for an unexpected expense.

We're passionate about helping people achieve the financial futures they deserve.

For Students:

One of the ways that we help students and families achieve their financial dream is by underwriting the financial education program, Financial Cents, and offering it at no cost to students, schools or taxpayers. Financial Cents for Students provides the knowledge and skills they need to make smart, confident financial decisions. Research proves that access to financial education during adolescence encourages positive financial behaviors later in life. It is an engaging, online program that uses video, animations and interactive activities to bring complex financial concepts to life. The courses empower elementary and high school students with information about how to make tough financial decisions about credit cards, financing higher education, and other important money matters.
