Scholarship Program
Each year, the Youth Financial Literacy Foundation donates scholarships to college students
to aid in the advancement of their education. These scholarships are awarded based
on a series of questions and an essay submitted by the student regarding a distributed
financial topic. Our hope is that the research and development to produce the answers
and essay will open up the conversation and mindset towards their enhancement of
financial knowledge.

FamilyMint
FamilyMint
is an award-winning online money management and goal-setting application that offers
an engaging way for kids to learn financial responsibility. It’s easy for kids to
use, lets them connect their money with real-world meaning, and most importantly,
learn by doing. It’s available via both web and mobile interfaces.
The Youth Financial Literacy Foundation has selected multiple program leaders across
the US to go into classrooms (Grades 5-9) and present the FamilyMint program. After
the initial presentation, the teacher will work with the students to complete the
Money Management Certification Program book. Upon completion of this two month program,
the program leader will return to the classroom to hold a celebration, awarding
the children their program completion certificate and present the school with a
donation of $500.
