For your high school students - National Financial Capability Challenge

Are you contributing to your high school students’ financial education? I’m a spokesperson for Charles Schwab, and I would like to share an opportunity to help high school students across the country improve their financial futures. From now through April 8, high school-aged youth are encouraged to test their financial savvy by taking  the National Financial Capability Challenge, a voluntary online test of personal finance knowledge administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education. Top-scoring students (and their schools) will be eligible to receive scholarships and grants provided by Charles Schwab Foundation. A total of twenty-five $1,000 scholarships will be given to top-scoring students, and twenty-five grants of $1,000 given to their schools in recognition of the important role educators play in advancing financial literacy.

Please visit challenge.treas.gov to learn more about the Challenge and to sign up your students.  And for additional teaching resources, please visit http://www.schwabmoneywise.com/teachers/ Thank you.
