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,
sign up 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.
