admin — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 16:38:21 +0000

Since the inception of BestPrep’s Financial Matters Initiative nearly 14,000 Minnesota students have been reached through the four interactive presentations.

These presentations are geared to help high school students increase their financial literacy skills. The presentations were created and piloted by a team of teachers and members of the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota. Each presentation focuses on a different financial literacy topic and can therefore be used alone or in conjunction with the others.

Request a presentation for the students enrolled in your classes now! Scheduling a speaker is easy; use BestPrep’s web site at www.bestprep.org/index.php?cID=154 or contact BestPrep at cp@bestprep.org or call Laura at 763.398.0090 x228.
