National Personal Finance Challenge
Are you a high school teacher? Learn More about National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC)!
Engage your students by participating in the National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC), a fun and motivating team competition that provides high school students the opportunity to get financially savvy and demonstrate their money management skills in the six knowledge areas of personal finance: earning income, spending, saving, investing, managing credit, and managing risk.
The NPFC Begins in Your Classroom
Reinforce your personal finance curriculum in a fun and engaging way by having all your students prepare and compete. Every year, thousands of students compete at the local, regional, and national levels for a chance to compete for the NPFC National Championship.
Use the NPFC to Build Your Students’ Critical Thinking Skills
In the first round of the NPFC, student teams compete in a fun online 30-question challenge. High-scoring student teams are invited to their state finals. State champions proceed to the National competition, where teams use their knowledge to create a financial plan for a fictitious family scenario. The top 16 teams in the National Finals will advance to compete for the national championship title in a Quiz Bowl.
Coaching is Easy
The NPFC is free and we have created a NPFC toolkit with creative personal finance lessons, interactive activities, informative videos, and quizzes. We have everything you need to help you and your team to be successful!
