Online Votes Will Help High School Win Grant
Strongsville High School has applied for a curriculum grant from H&R Block Dollars & Sense, and with enough online votes from the community, could receive the curriculum for next year.
Anna Morrison of Carmichael Lynch Spong said this program each year offers curriculum grants to teachers nationwide to help teach teens critical personal finance skills. Through April 15, anyone who visits H&R Block Dollars & Sense can view the list of applicants, read why each school wants personal finance curriculum, and cast a daily vote for their school(s) of choice.
Through this process, 250 schools will receive interactive curriculum that takes students through 18 real-life scenarios covering budgeting, credit scores, debt management, bill paying and more.

I think that this program is just great and very helpful, lots of people today are struggling with debts and it’s important for students to get to know how they can avoid difficult financial situations. Young people tend to make financial mistakes just because of the lack of experience. Furthermore, today there are lots of opportunities for easy borrowing money, and it’s important to know at least the basic information about loans and credits. A lot of students already have a student loan debt and they should know what they can do to pay it off and build a good credit score.
