Built to support your curriculum

Through a personalized, technology-based experience, students can explore career paths, compare education costs, and build a realistic budget based on their goals. Along the way, they deepen their understanding of key financial concepts and gain confidence in the choices ahead.

Flexible and easy to implement, it can be used in personal finance classrooms, counseling sessions, or academic and career planning programming, with educator resources that make integration simple.

For all students – no matter where their future leads

Students need meaningful opportunities to reinforce personal finance concepts in the context of real-life decisions – like career choices and life planning. That’s exactly what Money Path lets them do. Through customizable pathways, students can explore options like college, entering the workforce, apprenticeships, or the military, and see how each choice shapes their financial future:

    College

    The College pathway helps students map out the full cost of higher education (2, 4, or certificate program) by exploring tuition, housing, and everyday expenses alongside financial aid options like scholarships, grants, and loans. By connecting career goals to degree requirements and projected earnings, students can evaluate return on investment and build a realistic budget for life during and after college.

  • Workforce Financial Literacy

    Workforce

    The Workforce pathway supports students who plan to enter the workforce right after high school by helping them explore careers, estimate starting salaries, and build a budget based on real-world income. Students learn to balance living expenses, transportation, and savings goals, gaining a clear picture of financial independence and day-to-day management.

  • Apprenticeship Financial Literacy

    Apprenticeship

    The Apprenticeship pathway allows students to explore skilled trades and earn-while-you-learn opportunities by examining wages and career progression. Students can compare the financial advantages of apprenticeships with other pathways while building a budget that reflects increasing income and long-term earning potential.

  • Military Financial Literacy

    Military

    The Military pathway introduces students to the financial and career opportunities available through military service, including salary, housing allowances, and education benefits. It helps students understand how military compensation and benefits contribute to both short-term stability and long-term goals, while building a plan for life during and after service.

How It Works

Money Path enriches classroom instruction by helping students apply the knowledge and skills you’ve equipped them with to build plans for their future.

  • Step 1:

    Students select the post-graduation option or career path they want to explore. If considering post-secondary education, they select the institution and field of study.

  • Step 2:

    Students then explore the education expenses and income connected to the career option they are considering.

  • Step 3:

    Students assess their need for student loans and the long-term financial impact.

  • Step 4:

    Students create a budget with their estimated future income and living expenses.

  • Step 5:

    Students set financial goals and forecast retirement savings based on prior choices.

  • Step 6:

    Students can save as many paths as they like and compare them to make the best decision for their future.
