In honor of College Savings Month, we\u2019re highlighting Nearpod\u2019s Financial Literacy lessons created in partnership with Raise.me, an ed-tech startup that empowers high school students to earn micro-scholarships.<\/span><\/p>\n

College is expensive and paying for it can seem overwhelming. Often, those who need help the most don\u2019t know where to find it. It\u2019s sad to think that while the class of 2015 was recognized as having <\/span>the most student debt in U.S. history<\/span><\/a>, an estimated 2.9 billion dollars worth of grants and scholarships go unfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, a few years ago we combined our interactive teaching platform with the expertise of Raise.me to ensure that students of all ages have the chance to learn the skills needed to plan and pay for college.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The three lessons teach real-world financial literacy skills needed to plan for college. They teach students how to estimate costs and seek out scholarships and other financial resources.<\/p>\n
