How do you teach college-bound students about personal finance?

You provide a $39,500 incentive.

Citibank partnered with Scholastic to teach financial literacy to college-bound students by combining a college scholarship contest with a free curriculum kit (which I designed).

Distributed to English teachers, guidance counselors, and business/economics teachers, the kit included lessons on money-management and writing skills to help high-school students prepare for college.

The essay contest attracted nationwide entries from high school students who were asked to write about a situation in which they had to use financial management to achieve a significant goal.
