German American Bank announced Wednesday its sponsorship of this year’s EVERFI Financial Literacy Bee.
After sponsoring the inaugural event in 2020, German American Bank officials said they are excited to once again offer access to this nationwide challenge taking place April 1-15.
The financial literacy course is available for students and their parents and features an essay scholarship contest open to high school students ages 13-18.
Those submitting an essay have the opportunity to win a college scholarship up to $10,000.
New this year, German American Bank will be awarding an additional $2,000 to winners within its market area. Four winners will be chosen, two in Indiana and two in Kentucky, with each to receive a $500 savings account.
Anyone can take the virtual challenge, created by social impact education innovator EVERFI, featuring four short digital lessons followed by a capstone essay contest in which students share a short-term or long-term savings goal and outline their plan to achieve that goal.
