Michael Jordan is funding a California Non-Profit to help almost a half million minority high school students with financial literacy. Guilford County Schools along with the Charlotte school are two of several beneficiaries of this grant.
From the Washington Examiner – “This grant will provide each student with access to the financial literacy course. It also supports a personal finance specialist who will “provide curriculum support and professional development to teachers.” The grant further funds “expansion of NGPF’s online curriculum offerings and the creation of student investment clubs coordinated via the personal finance specialists in cooperation with teachers,” according to the organization.”
