Welcome to the New Jersey

Personal Finance Challenge!

The 2026 New Jersey Personal Finance Challenge is underway!

All teachers and students interested in the NJ Personal Finance Challenge should review the 'The Rules' and 'Dates and Times' page. 

The NJ Personal Finance Challenge provides students a chance to showcase their financial literacy knowledge. 

Quick facts:

• Prize money is available to the top three student teams! 1st Place $600, 2nd Place $400, 3rd Place $150
• Students compete inside a team of 3-4 students, but complete the challenge is completed by each indivdually and team member scores are combined 
• The challenge is an online quiz - you'll have 35 minutes to finish 30 questions
• There is no cost to partcipate
• A teacher must register with a teacher account, and then register student teams. Students cannot register themselves. Students will get their access code to take their quiz from their teacher. Teachers can register an unlimited number of teams from the students in their school.
• Students in one team must take the quiz at the same time. Students - find a time where you can all click "start" at the same time. A small grace period is provided, but we need to prevent students from taking the test at different times as it is meant to be taken indivdually
