‘A better future’: Local high school students compete in Personal Finance Challenge

High schoolers from the greater Boston area are showcasing their skills at CEE’s National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC). Students participate in a written test and create case scenarios based on their knowledge of personal finance. By participating in NPFC, students have the opportunity to develop financial skills that will prove invaluable for their future success. While personal finance is not yet required in Massachusetts public schools, participants are already expressing the confidence they feel when they are able to develop and employ their knowledge of personal finance.

About the Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities, and learn to successfully navigate in our ever-changing economy. We carry out our mission in three ways.  We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources – online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide – to more than 40,000 teachers annually who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program.
