Most students today will graduate without knowing how to save, budget, or manage credit, just as they are about to start making serious financial decisions that\u2019ll impact their future. In fact, a new survey<\/a> published today found that 85% of US high school students say that they are interested in learning about financial topics in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 40 years, we\u2019ve been focused on helping our customers achieve financial confidence<\/a>. We\u2019ve leveraged that experience and our technology to help students become the first financially savvy generation.

\u201cWithout personal finance knowledge, students struggle to make informed financial decisions, jeopardizing their long-term financial success after graduating,\u201d said Dave Zasada, vice president of Education and Corporate Responsibility at Intuit. \u201cWe know that financial education works. Our survey shows that 95% of students who receive financial curriculum at school find it helpful. As an organization that has been powering prosperity globally for 40 years, Intuit recognizes our unique opportunity and set a goal to help 50 million students become more financially literate, capable, and confident by 2030.\u201d

Intuit is supporting the call for financial education by providing students and teachers with Intuit for Education<\/a> curriculum, launching a new Hour of Finance challenge, sharing insights on the state of financial education, and more.

Intuit for Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hour of Finance Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Intuit for Education, Intuit today announced its first-ever Intuit Hour of Finance Challenge<\/a> to encourage all schools to spend one hour on financial education during Financial Literacy Month in April. The challenge includes plug-and-play lesson plans<\/a> based on Intuit for Education curriculum, and an online game designed to teach critical financial concepts such as taxes, credit, and investments. Intuit Prosperity Quest<\/a> is an interactive online game that makes financial education fun and relevant for students. This nationwide challenge gives schools a chance to compete against each other to win a celebration worth up to $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000 depending on the school size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
