Understanding personal finance, like budgeting, investing, saving and managing money, is important no matter ones age. It becomes especially important for young people as they transition from high school to college.

Studies have shown that financial mistakes made during your late teens and early 20s can impact your life well into adulthood. In an effort to teach young people the value of sound financial management American University's (AU) Kogod School along with Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund (HDSF) and EverFi Financial Literacy Platform teamed up to bring financial literacy education to HDSF students.

On Wednesday, May 27, 2009, a group of HDSF students gathered at AU's Financial Services and Information Technology Lab at Kogod for the final installment of a two-part course taught by EverFi.

The courses were funded by The DC Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

HDSF would like to thank Larry Ward, Dean of American University's School of Business; Margaret Singleton, Vice President for Workforce Development and Director of the DC Chamber of Commerce Foundation; and Thomas M. Davidson, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of EverFi.
