What an inspiring week in Washington, D.C., celebrating the winners of the 2026 Capitol Hill Challenge! 🇺🇸🏆

After rising to the top of a field of 7,300 students nationwide, these students and teachers gathered in the nation's capital to be recognized for their outstanding achievement. During the trip, they toured the U.S. Capitol, met with their Members of Congress, and visited financial firms to learn more about careers in the industry.

The celebration culminated with an awards reception on Capitol Hill. A special thank you to Rep. Joyce Beatty and U.S. Representative Young Kim for sharing their remarks and encouraging students to continue building their financial knowledge and leadership skills.

We are grateful to the Charles Schwab Foundation for sponsoring the competition and to SIFMA, Morgan Stanley, and RBC for helping make this memorable experience possible and expanding access to financial education nationwide.

Congratulations again to all of this year's winners! 👏👏👏
