Congrats to the Summer 2024 ASU/NGPF Cohort!

Join NGPF in congratulating the Summer 2024 cohort of participants for ASU’s Risk Management for Educators graduate course and ASU's Investment Management for Educators graduate course! After having already completed NGPF’s prerequisite certification courses, these participants were awarded scholarships to be able to take a graduate course with Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business because of their dedication to personal finance education. 

 

Here is what some participants said about their experience:

"Both courses were great. They built upon the certification courses & went into more detail. I am looking forward to the integrating the material in my classes."

- Michael Lanstrum in OH

"This exceeded my expectations! It transformed what I thought would be a dry subject into an engaging and interactive learning experience. The instructor’s energy and expertise made every session enjoyable, and I left feeling empowered and confident in instructing my students in how to better manage their finances. This course is a must for anyone looking to educate their students on how to take control of their financial future!"

- Erin Hagmaier in CO

"The material was current, relevant, and interesting. The lectures were especially engaging and focused on real-world application useful in the classroom and in our personal financial lives."

- Dr. Elizabeth Magee in SC
