The Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy, through Brighter Financial Futures, announces that because of a sponsorship of Mauch Chunk Trust Company, all students in grades 3-12 can participate in the Spring Semester Personal Budgeting & Investing Challenges, free of charge.

Students learn how to budget, pay monthly bills, spend wisely, build credit and invest in the market. Students with the highest scores in the Personal Budgeting Challenge and the highest portfolio values in the Investing Challenge win prizes.

The competitions are held in the classroom, both countywide and statewide. Schools can sign up for our Budgeting & Investing competitions at www.penncfl.org.
