Are you looking for a way to get your students excited about personal finance? Register for the Illinois Personal Finance Challenge (IPFC)! This competition provides students with a motivating opportunity to build, apply, and demonstrate their knowledge in areas like earning income, spending, saving, managing credit, investing, and managing risk. The IPFC is brought to you through a partnership with the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office and the UIC Center for Economic Education.
Teams of 3-4 students compete in the challenge through online exams during fall and spring testing windows, with all student scores accessible to teachers. There is no limit to the number of teams a teacher can have, and no limit to how many teachers can participate from the same school. The top high school teams will compete in a virtual case study, which will determine the winning state team. The top team will represent Illinois in the National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC) finals in Atlanta.
The NPFC provides a full teacher toolkit with lessons, activities, videos, quizzes, and case studies to help your students learn about the six core knowledge areas of personal finance.
