Policymakers are considering legislation to help set our students up for financial success, and we need your help!
HB25-1192, Financial Literacy Graduation Requirement, is bipartisan legislation that will require Colorado high school students to complete a personal finance course and either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA) to access federal and state financial assistance.
The House Education Committee is hearing this bill next week. Ask them to empower our students with the knowledge they need for a secure future
Students from low-income backgrounds, Black, and Hispanic students are disproportionately affected by the lack of financial education, contributing to generational poverty and limiting opportunities for long-term success.
States with similar legislation have seen FAFSA completion rates rise significantly, leading to increased postsecondary enrollment and greater access to financial aid.
