K-12 FINANCIAL EDUCATION

Financial Literacy & Financial Education for K-12 Students

Prepare students for their financial future

According to a 2021 study from the Milken Institute, only 57% of adults in the United States are financially literate. The need for financial literacy programs is undeniable, with many states now requiring personal finance courses to graduate from high school. 

 

Personal financial education is more than dollars and cents. It’s about establishing better spending habits, instilling confidence, and equipping the next generation with the real world skills to manage financial goals and milestones. 

 

EVERFI works with partners to secure funding so that all of our digital financial literacy resources, training, and support are completely free to teachers, districts, and families.
