This Week in Financial Literacy (March 5, 2010)
- Time to get back to basics. Here’s a good article that describes How To Design Your Own Financial Literacy Curriculum. As the author of the article states, this is one topic that student’s won’t feel compelled to ask, “when are we ever going to need to use this?”
- The United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County will use a FINRA grant it is receiving to implement a neighbor-to-neighbor financial education program and public education campaign for people living in low-income neighborhoods. According to the article in the San Antonio Business Journal, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is donating roughly $1.5 million to 12 community groups nationwide as part of its new program, Financial Education in Your Community, which is administered jointly with United Way Worldwide.
- Watch a short video from FoxProvidence.com about the National Financial Capability Challenge.
- More fun: The University at Buffalo School of Management and M&T Bank will host more than 80 students from 16 public, private and charter schools in the third annual “MoneySKILL® Mania,” a financial literacy competition for high school juniors and seniors. The event will run from 9-11 a.m. on March 9 in UB’s Center for the Arts Screening Room on the North Campus.
- Finally, WalletPOP.com has a quick quiz to test your financial literacy knowledge. How did you score?
