Financial Education for the Classroom
NEFE High School Financial Planning Program® (HSFPP)
When it comes to learning about how to handle and manage money, any knowledge a student gains from a course on the subject isn’t worth much if there isn’t a way to turn what they learn into real actions that result in positive habits. That is what the NEFE High School Financial Planning Program® (HSFPP) does through its six unit Student Guide and Instructor’s Manual.
The NEFE High School Financial Planning Program was developed by teachers and financial professionals who know how to move students from knowledge to the kinds of positive action that will help them begin their financial lives on the right foot.
You can order these materials directly from NEFE at hsfpp.org. Click on ‘Create a Free Account’ at the top of the page, to register as a ‘New User’, then follow the instructions to download the manuals.
