Financial literacy pays ... literally.
"Despite that 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, many high school students nationwide are changing their lives by gaining essential personal finance skills through financial literacy courses. But how long would you guess that it takes a student to turn an education in personal finance into $10,000 in cash?
For some grads, it happens before they even get to college!
How’s that possible? By entering and winning the Ramsey Solutions Financial Literacy Challenge!
We want all high school students to get excited about Financial Literacy Month. So in April 2017, we invited them to test their personal-finance knowledge with a short personal-finance quiz. Thousands of students entered to prove their skills, and we awarded $10,000 scholarships to four lucky winners!
Fast forward to 2018. We caught back up with two of last year’s winners to see how college life is treating them. You’ll be happy to know they’re putting their winnings to great use!"
