The Missouri Personal Finance Challenge is a statewide competition for grades 9-12. This website is to serve as your basic information source about the Missouri Personal Finance Challenge.

The purpose of the Missouri Personal Finance Challenge is to honor teachers and students in grades 9-12 who have demonstrated excellence in mastery of the curricular materials that are part of the required Personal Finance Course in all Missouri High Schools. The intent is to encourage high standards for achievement in these classes and to provide support and encouragement to school systems, teachers and students for their accomplishments.

The competition will be for teacher-sponsored teams of four students.  Teachers may enter any number of teams per school in the free online competition.

·         Teachers register teams for their online competition.
The 2009 Missouri Personal Finance Online Competition dates are March 16 - March 27, 2009.

·         Students participate in online competition.

·         Top twenty teams in each of four regions advance to their regional city for on-site competitions (Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, and St. Louis).

The on-site regional and state competitions will include written (multiple choice) questions followed by a “quiz bowl” with verbal responses to questions.  Every student in the top twenty teams invited to the Regional Competition will receive a T-shirt and a certificate of participation.
