National Financial Literacy Challenge (Visit this link) new
On January 22, 2008, President Bush signed an Executive Order establishing the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. The Council members held their first meeting in February. One of their initial recommendations was to focus on increasing financial education for young people. The National Financial Literacy Challenge is a recognition program that uses a voluntary, online test to determine and reward high levels of financial literacy among America’s high school students. Each of the top regional performers in the 2008 National Financial Literacy Challenge will win a $2,500 scholarship for use at the post-secondary institution of their choice. A $1,000 contribution in their name will additionally be given to the school or program* that provided their money management education.
Approximate value: $25000
