The savings contest is one of several being staged by credit unions around the country to encourage financial education and savings. Last week, GECU in Texas awarded two families $10,000 each for adhering to their savings plans, and other credit unions are launching similar contests.
The students, from 13-to-17, will prepare a budget plan to obtain their short-term goals and attend financial literacy courses at Marshall Community CU in exchange for the credit union matching deposits.
