Student Testimonials
"I've been in the CFE's financial literacy program at Basic Academy for the past 3 years, and I've learned so much that I will ACTUALLY use in life. Every student should have the opportunity to learn this!"

"This year's financial classes helped me decide the next steps I'm going to take after high school, and how I can plan to pay for my college classes."
- Owen D.
"My experience today at Mad City Money [sic] was really eye-opening because I never knew how much money you need to live comfortably without going into a lot of debt."
