Thank You to our New York Sponsors
Thanks to our sponsors. Without their generous and continuing support the brass STUDENT PROGRAM would not be possible. Each sponsor joins the national effort of the brass STUDENT PROGRAM in their home state by making free personal finance resources available for students and teachers across their state.
Recent studies have shown young adults, specifically high school students, are lacking the skills needed to make sound financial decisions. A 2008 Charles Schwab survey entitled "Parents & Money" revealed only one in three parents (34%) has taught their teen how to balance a check book, and even fewer (29%) have explained how credit card interest and fees work. Sponsors work directly with brass to promote financial literacy in public high schools across the state and advance the cause - helping young adults better prepare for the future by understanding the money side of life™.
