Welcome

To the Texas Personal Finance Challenge ONLINE!

 

What is the Personal Finance Challenge? 

The University of Texas at Tyler, Center for Economic Education and Financial Literacy, with support from the National Council for Economic Education proudly brings back the Texas 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.

The top team from each region, fall and spring, are invited to the state championships in April, for a live competition with student teams from across the state. State finalists will be assigned a fictional case-study with time to prepare a presentation sharing their recommendations for the fictional client before a panel of judges including economists, business leaders and financial professionals.
