“After #FinancialEducation is required, my research has largely found that credit outcomes improve, and debt outcomes improve as well. That means credit scores go up, and students are less likely to miss payments.” - Dr. @Carly_Urban of @montanastate.

Exactly! With #FinancialEducation young people can make informed financial decisions.

Schools with higher poverty rates are less likely to have personal finance graduation requirements – meaning there isn’t equity in access to these courses unless there is a state-wide requirement
