THE CURRICULUM

Learning by doing

H&R Block Dollars & Sense uses Knowledge Matters Virtual Business® – Personal Finance when providing curriculum to high schools. The experience-based simulation software allows students to learn and practice 18 personal finance skills in an environment that mimics what they can expect in real life. The software is accompanied by classroom lesson plans and study materials.


LET'S TALK DOLLARS & SENSE

Let's Talk Dollars & Sense


The numbers don’t lie. A large percentage of today’s teens graduate without an understanding of how to properly manage their own finances. So we created H&R Block Dollars & Sense™, a comprehensive initiative to help high school students learn the essentials of financial fitness, like how to manage a debit card, balance a budget, save money and avoid debt.

Through H&R Block Dollars & Sense, we’re donating more than $1 million in personal finance curriculum annually and rewarding students with college scholarships. Curriculum grants for the current school year have been awarded. To apply for a curriculum grant for the 2011 - 2012 school year, please come back in August 2010 for application information. In the meantime, to receive program news and notifications by e-mail. With the help of our partners, Knowledge Matters and DECA, we will create a new generation of financially fit Americans, teens who are ready for whatever the real world throws at them. To us, that makes perfect dollars and sense.
