Build a high school financial literacy course with Greenlight

Teens today have access to more financial tools and information than any previous generation. However, many teens don’t score passing grades on the National Financial Literacy Test. These soon-to-be adults may not be prepared to make big financial decisions, like taking out student loans or using a credit card. 

With the average college student carrying approximately $37,000 in student loan debt, a lack of knowledge could cost them a lot in the long run. But with the right financial literacy tools, high school students can bank the information they need.
