Financial literacy leads to personal success
Financial literacy is an essential skill for success in today’s every-changing, global economy.
A new financial literacy program released this week is designed to teach Iowa students about personal finance. By learning the basics—budgeting, saving, wise use of credit cards and smart borrowing—early on, students will be better positioned for life-long financial success.

The online Iowa Financial Literacy Program at http://www.ihaveaplaniowa.gov/ is free to Iowa high schools thanks to a federal grant and a public-private partnership between the College Student Aid Commission and other organizations.
The program is a great capstone to a comprehensive K-12 program in financial literacy that is part of the Iowa Core Curriculum. It helps students create career plans in eighth grade, which they can improve upon throughout high school.
In 2008, the Legislature approved a career and educational planning process called the 8th Grade Plan. Iowa schools work with students to create an electronic portfolio of career and educational goals that can be revised as they mature and learn more about themselves, their interests and their abilities.
