Lesson 2-5 gives outstanding details about identity theft for a teen population and helps students understand that they TRULY ARE AT RISK.

[HSFPP materials] help my students understand the importance of money management and skills they will need when they go onto college, military, or working world.

Julie Giglia, Business/Technology Educator, Whitman, Mass.

Personal Finance is just one of the 5 different courses I teach ... There just isn't time for me to create materials, and even if I could, they wouldn't be as good as HSFPP.

The Funding Behind the Free

Since 1984 the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) has proudly provided 100 percent of the funding for the High School Financial Planning Program® (HSFPP), a high quality, noncommercial, and unbiased personal finance curriculum.

NEFE is independently funded by its own endowment, which was established with the proceeds from the sale of the College for Financial Planning and related transactions in 1997. Additional growth is realized only through investment of the endowment's assets.
