Econ Illinois - Illinois Council on Economic Education, in conjunction with its Centers for Economic Education throughout the state and the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago and St. Louis, is pleased to announce the new Illinois Personal Finance Challenge.
This program is endorsed by the Illinois State Treasurer.
The Illinois Personal Finance Challenge (IPFC) is designed to recognize students who demonstrate high levels of comprehension and application of personal finance concepts and skills, and reward teachers for outstanding practices in teaching personal finance courses. With all students in Illinois required to take a consumer education/personal finance course, this is the perfect way to engage them more fully in their learning and to assess how well they are meeting the state mandate.
This competition will include a preliminary first round that is online, making it possible for every school in the state to participate. Teams with the highest scores on the preliminary round will then compete in the state finals, to be held in Chicago, where a state champion team will be determined.
