Excited to see this new funding opportunity supporting financial literacy for Wisconsin students! Grants of up to $7,500 will help schools expand learning around budgeting, credit, and investing—critical skills for life after graduation.

At Junior Achievement, this is exactly the work we’re passionate about. Our hands-on, volunteer-led curriculum helps students connect real-world financial concepts—like earning a paycheck, managing expenses, and planning for the future—to their everyday lives.

Opportunities like this are more important than ever, especially as schools navigate tight budgets and growing demand for practical, career-ready learning. Investing in financial literacy today empowers students to make smarter decisions tomorrow.

If your school or organization is considering applying, we’d love to partner with you to support meaningful, impactful financial education for students across our community!

As two Wisconsin state agencies offer grants of up to $7,500 to support financial literacy education in schools, organizations like Junior Achievement of Wisconsin continue to play a critical role in preparing students for financial success. Through a continuum of solutions—from early education through high school transformation—and strong partnerships with educators, employers, and communities, JA Wisconsin drives real outcomes in student engagement, achievement, and economic mobility.

🎥 What was the highlight of the Technical Careers Challenge? Let's hear it from a student!

At this year’s JA Technical Careers Challenge, one 7th grader shared that her favorite part was the welding experience—getting hands-on with melted chocolate, cheese, and crackers to simulate real-world welding techniques! 🧀🍫

Thank you to Trane Technologies for leading this creative, interactive station and helping bring technical careers to life for students in a fun and memorable way. 👏
