German American Bank has announced its sponsorship of this year’s EVERFI Financial Literacy Bee. A sponsor since the inaugural event in 2020, German American Bank is excited to once again offer access to this regional challenge taking place April 7-21. The financial literacy course is available for students and their families and features an essay contest open to junior high and high school students (ages 13-19).
Those submitting an essay will be eligible to win part of $2,500 in prizes. One regional winner will be awarded a $500 VISA gift card from EVERFI and four additional winners, two in Indiana and two in Kentucky, will each receive a $500 prize from German American.
The virtual challenge, created by Impact-as-a-ServiceTM education innovator EVERFI, and supported by leading financial institutions nationwide, features 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 based on what they’ve learned.
