High School Teachers

Want to invest in your students’ future? Sign up for the National Financial Capability Challenge, a test you can administer in your classroom that measures the financial savvy of high-school students nationwide. The 40-question online test is sponsored and administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education.

Charles Schwab Foundation is proud to award scholarships to 25 students who excel on the Challenge. High-scoring students are eligible for $1,000 scholarships and $1,000 grants for their schools. Learn more about these scholarships and grants by clicking here.

Remember, the test must be administered between March 7 and April 8, 2011. And don’t forget to download the Educator Toolkit for resources to help get your students prepared.
