About the National Financial Literacy Challenge The Challenge will be offered online, and will involve 35 questions on basic personal finance. It is estimated that the Challenge will take the average student 40-45 minutes to complete. In most instances, a computer lab will be required. Students scoring in the top 25th percentile of national scores will be eligible for recognition from the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. Beginning in late April 2008, the new Challenge will be offered for approximately three weeks. Teachers may choose any day within the challenge window to ask their students to participate. For more information If you are a high school teacher, you may sign up for the official distribution list by emailing flc@do.treas.gov. Be sure to include "Interest in National Financial Literacy Challenge" in your subject line. Additional details, including a user guide for teachers, will be distributed in the coming weeks. In the meantime, plan on saving a class! For more information, contact ed.bodensiek@do.treas.gov at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
