Financial Education Overview

Improving financial literacy among Connecticut residents is a priority for the Office of the State Treasurer.

Financial education is important during all stages of life, because economic opportunity can be a catalyst for change and enduring success.

A major goal of the office is to ensure the accessibility of these programs to youth, adults across the generations and underserved populations in the state.

The Treasury's efforts working with organizations throughout the state have helped provide programs and assistance that can empower the people of Connecticut with information and training to help them build a better future.

State Certified Curriculum
