CashCourse Independent Evaluation
As part of NEFE’s commitment to rigorous evaluation practices, the CashCourse program underwent a third-party evaluation by the University of Cincinnati (UC) Economics Center during the 2018-2019 school year.
The evaluation’s findings offer valuable insight into how schools use CashCourse and how the program impacts student learning and behavior. Additionally, the evaluation provides best practices for college campuses on how to effectively implement financial education programs.
