Sustaining the Program through Public-Private Partnerships
A federal College Access Challenge Grant awarded to Iowa College Aid provided initial funding to launch the Iowa Financial Literacy Program in all Iowa high schools. While monies from the federal College Access Challenge Grant can be used to fund projects that promote financial literacy and debt management, it is not meant to be the sole source of funding. Future funding needed to grow and sustain the Iowa Financial Literacy Program will be obtained through public-private partnerships with local organizations and agencies interested in being part of this innovative new program to bring financial education to students in their communities.
