- Intuit for Education delivers free, flexible, and interactive
financial curriculum for schools
- New “Hour of Finance Challenge” encourages students to spend
one hour learning personal finance during Financial Literacy Month
in April
A new survey published today found that 85% of US high school
students are interested in learning about financial topics in
school. To close the gap in financial literacy, Intuit Inc.
(Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes
Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today
launched Intuit for Education, a new financial literacy program
that provides high school teachers and students with free personal
and entrepreneurial finance courses. The company also launched the
Intuit Hour of Finance Challenge to challenge schools to spend one
hour on financial education during Financial Literacy Month in
April.
“Without personal finance knowledge, students struggle to make
informed financial decisions, jeopardizing their long-term
financial success after graduating,” said Dave Zasada, vice
president of Education and Corporate Responsibility at Intuit. “We
know that financial education works. Our survey shows that 95% of
students who receive financial curriculum at school find it
helpful. As an organization that has been powering prosperity
globally for 40 years, Intuit recognizes our unique opportunity and
set a goal to help 50 million students become more financially
literate, capable, and confident by 2030.”

Available now, Intuit for Education is a free financial literacy
program for US high school educators that offers a flexible,
interactive curriculum leveraging real-world tools. Intuit for
Education includes comprehensive personal and entrepreneurial
finance courses, and features interactive lessons and simulations
powered by Intuit products such as TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit
Karma, and Mailchimp. By providing educators with easy-to-use
resources to teach essential skills like budgeting, saving,
managing credit, and understanding basic finances, the company aims
to prepare students to make smart financial choices. Intuit has set
a goal to help 50 million students become financially literate,
empowered, and confident through their use of Intuit for Education
content by 2030. Intuit for Education includes more than 150 hours

Hour of Finance Challenge
As part of Intuit for Education, Intuit today announced its
first-ever Intuit Hour of Finance Challenge to encourage all
schools to spend one hour on financial education during Financial
Literacy Month in April. The challenge includes plug-and-play
lesson plans based on Intuit for Education curriculum, and an
online game designed to teach critical financial concepts such as
taxes, credit, and investments. Intuit Prosperity Quest is an
interactive online game that makes financial education fun and
relevant for students. This nationwide challenge gives schools a
