As a local Indianapolis mortgage broker, Grandview Lending is always looking for ways to give back to the community. We believe the key to a successful financial future starts with a strong education in financial literacy. That is why we have donated Ramsey Solutions’ Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum to Lawrence North High School.

Literacy Course for Local Students

This course offers guidance in basic personal finance. Michael Farrell, President and Owner of Grandview Lending, explains, “Grandview Lending strengthens communities, fosters family, and builds wealth through homeownership that is passed onto future generations. We want to do our part to help that future generation so that they can have the knowledge and tools to prepare themselves financially for the future.”

Mike continues, “If we can educate our children and young adults early on the how & when to save money, spend money, and borrower money, this will help them be set up for success as they begin their future career path.”

Basic high-school curriculums often provide only minimal education in the area of personal finance, despite it being one of the most critical life skills for any young person to develop. Far too many students graduate without even knowing how to keep a budget.

Foundations in Personal Finance has become a popular and successful program across the country, with more than five million students benefiting at the middle school, high school, and college levels. More than 45% of high schools have taught the curriculum. Topics covered include:

• Budgeting
• Saving
• Debt and credit
• Consumer awareness
• Career readiness
• College planning
• Financial services
• Insurance
• Income and taxes
• Housing and real estate
• Investing and retirement
• Global economics

Not only is the curriculum thorough, but it is also effective. Testing data shows that students score 24 percentage points higher on average after taking the curriculum compared to their pre-test scores.

The high school students taking Foundations in Personal Finance today will be tomorrow’s young homebuyers and homeowners. Grandview Lending is excited to help get them off to the right start, empowering them to success.
