Spring Challenge (Online) Registration Open!
Montana Competion Ends April 12, 2024
What is the Personal Finance Challenge?
Every year, the Montana Council for Economic Education, with support from the National Council for Economic Education hosts the the Montana Personal Finance Challenge. The challenge is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge of personal finance by connecting with other students from across the state in an online competition.
How does the challenge work?
Teams of 3-4 students will have 35 minutes to complete a 30-question online exam covering the principles of personal finance including money management, credit, investing, and insurance.
Students earn 10 points for every correct response and 0 points for each incorrect answer. Every question must be answered to move on, and students are not able to go back to previous questions.
There will be a cash prize for the top three teams in Montana:
- 1st Place: $500 per team
- 2nd Place: $250 per team
- 3rd Place: $100 per team
- 4th Place: $50 Visa Gift Card
- 5th Place: $50 Visa Gift Card
