The Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy, through Brighter Financial Futures, is proud to announce that thanks to the generous sponsorship of Mauch Chunk Trust Company, all students in grades 3-12 can have full access to the Personal Finance Lab, free of charge. This world-class, web-based stock simulation platform and curriculum includes the Personal Budgeting Game, Online Learning with certifications in Personal Finance and Investing 101, plus the Stock Market Challenge. This cutting-edge, real-time stock market game is used in over 80% of the top business schools in the United States. Essentially, we went from 2 ten-week stock games to 4 quarter semester and 2 full semester programs with competitions. The 4 quarter semester programs are held in early fall, late fall, early spring and late spring. Now students can learn by using the curriculum, courses, trading, and the budget simulation. The platform provides lessons, assignments and grading for seamless teacher management as well as the superior gamification of the Stock Market Challenge and the Personal Budgeting Program. The competitions are held in the classroom, both county-wide and state-wide. The next big Stock Market Challenge and Personal Budgeting Competition begins on February 13th and area schools can sign up at www.penncfl.org

Together we can increase Financial Literacy in Pennsylvania & provide the students with a brighter financial future!
