Authorized grant-funded activities shall include:

  • developing and implementing comprehensive, research-based, financial-literacy education programs for young people;
  • designing instructional materials;
  • developing and supporting the delivery of professional-development programs in financial-literacy education;
  • improving access to, and dissemination of, financial-literacy information for young people and families;
  • developing educational programs to reduce student-loan default rates;
  • conducting ongoing research and evaluation of financial-literacy education programs; and
  • measuring the effectiveness of authorized activities.

The grant program shall terminate after FY2019.
