During the 2021-2022 school year in the U.S., nearly one in four high school students had guaranteed access to personal finance courses. However, according to Next Gen Personal Finance, this figure drops to one in 20 students in schools where more than 75% of students are economically disadvantaged, as determined by eligibility for the USDA’s Free and Reduced Price Meal program. This inequitable distribution of personal finance education perpetuates the existing socioeconomic gaps in our communities.
Intuit is uniquely positioned to address this inequality and education gap through our products, TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, and Design for Delight (D4D), our design thinking methodology to problem solving.
