Other Notes

The goal of Financial Literacy Debate is for high school students to creatively examine the long and short term costs of a financial topic. This year's topic is about the costs and benefits of pursuing a 4-year degree after high school vs pursuing other options. Judges will be financial professionals who can provide meaningful feedback, and debates will be in a more 'natural language' style for a general audience.
