Mission Statement
We are dedicated to providing individuals with the opportunity for knowledge and financial freedom through scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students and through free, objective financial education, information, and tools in the form of classes and seminars.
Description
Our three-pronged objective includes professional development for financial counselors and highschool teachers, financial literacy presentations for a wide variety of venues (churches, schools, community resource organizations, corporations) and scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students. We have provided some 20 professional development courses, and have more than 30 different financial literacy presentations. Our presentations are given by certified speakers and are free of charge. We have presented to more than 40,000 workshop participants just since 2001. We have provided more than $3.4 million in scholarships.
