OverviewThe Maryland Personal Finance Challenge is an academic competition that provides high school students the opportunity to learn and then demonstrate knowledge and application of personal finance concepts during a one day academic competition. Student teams from high schools across the state compete with the excitement of an athletic competition to be recognized as the Maryland State Champion. The winning team is invited to represent Maryland at the National Personal Finance Challenge Competition. Teachers of economics, business, marketing, personal finance, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) are urged to participate. There are no registration fees so this makes a great class activity. Visit the National Personal Finance Challenge website for information about How It Works on the national level. |
