Why financial education matters to us
Today, only 27%1 of all high school students are required to take a personal finance course. And that number is significantly lower in low-income communities.
While the number of states with a mandate for students to take a personal finance course has been increasing, the fact is the majority of 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 will impact their future.
For 40 years, Intuit has been focused on helping our customers achieve financial confidence. We’ve leveraged that experience, and our technology, to create a comprehensive program to help students become the first financially literate generation. We’re on a mission to help the today's generation prosper.
