The UWWV Financial Management Impact Council is soliciting proposals to expand financial literacy education for students in grades 9-12. Participating students will gain practical skills and knowledge about financial management, including topics such as earning, budgeting, taxes, credit, debt, saving, and investing.

The UWWV Financial Management (FM) Impact Council will impact the ALICE population by investing in programs that improve the financial literacy of youth, thereby helping to break the cycle of poverty.

Program Details
The program must be a sustained experience (a minimum of six hours of instruction) and employ a rigorous assessment method to evaluate student learning. Although not required, we value an inperson, instructor-led, real-time experience offered at a location that is easily accessible for students. Participation and completion should be incentivized, if not by course credit and a grade, then by other means. Attendance must be tracked and reported.

To help achieve success in this outcome, award recipients must accomplish one of the following outputs through this grant:
• Inclusion of financial literacy instruction for high school students in a pre-existing course or in an incentivized extracurricular activity.
• Creation of a new financial literacy program for high school students that includes an incentive for participation and completion.
