Summer Financial Modules
Special $150 drawing for summer module participants
We have a NEW Financial Literacy Platform
Learning about money is important even if you do not have any because it equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to manage finances effectively once you start earning. Understanding financial literacy can help you make informed decisions, save wisely, and avoid common pitfalls like debt and financial stress.
Financial education can also empower you to plan for the future, including retirement, and to achieve long-term goals such as buying a home or paying for education.
Moreover, knowing how to handle money can relieve stress and promote a balanced approach to spending and saving.
Many students, find themselves lacking basic financial knowledge, which can lead to regrettable financial decisions later in life. By learning about money now, you can start building good habits early, which can have significant benefits as you grow older.
Additionally, financial literacy can help you understand the importance of saving and investing, concepts that can be challenging to grasp without proper education. Even if you start with small amounts, understanding how to grow your money through savings and investments can be crucial for financial stability and independence.
Students who complete at least 3 Modules in the Khan Academy will be eligible for a $150 cash prize! You will get one entry once you complete 3 modules and an additional entry for every module or workshop you complete after that! So the more modules and workshops you complete the better your financial knowledge and the better chance you have to win the cash prize! This must be completed before the end of summer. All participants are not guaranteed money. Award winner will be announced August 26th in the weekly announcement and on Brightspace.
