The Nuvision Essay Challenge - For the Life You Build
In November, Nuvision Credit Union will kick of its 3rd Annual Essay Challenge Scholarship Program for participating High Schools in the communities we serve.
The Nuvision Essay Challenge helps high school students and their parents learn about money and how to develop responsible money management habits.
Essay Challenge Details
The Nuvision Essay Challenge program is hosted by a group of Certified Financial Advisors who volunteer their time to work with each participating school to inspire the students and teach them the principals of money and how to develop good habits with their money.
The program is hosted at High Schools throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Over $20,000 (the total prizes is $20,250) is awarded in Scholarships to students and participating schools also receive donations.
What Students have to say About The Essay Challenge
“I would strongly recommend Nuvision’s program to others in high school. It has played a huge role in ensuring I am off to a good start in college. My biggest takeaway from the Nuvision Essay Challenge Scholarship Program is that it’s never too soon to prepare for a sound financial future.” Chantel H., Schurr High School
“At a young age my father passed away, making my mom a single parent resulting in our family being low income. I was always very worried about what my future would be like financially; not knowing how to one day support my own family. Listening to Brandon’s speech inspired me to work hard and take on the world. Teaching me not to let a day go by where I’m not doing something that will get me one step closer to achieving my goals.” Daisy B., Carson High School
“Great speaker! Offered very valuable information in such a lovely & friendly manner. It's great to learn from people who really want to benefit the community.” Milly C., Oxford Academy
“Great presentation! Love to hear about financial education. Loved Ron Brown - presenter - entertaining and motivational.” Marla G., Mater Dei High School
“I wanted to reach out and thank you for including Oxford Academy in your Personal Finance Workshop and Essay Challenge. It was an awesome experience, and I’m so happy that we had the opportunity to participate…“Having a personal finance adviser come and give advice to our parents and students alike was very helpful. We are always looking for ways to share valuable personal finance tips with them, and your workshop was an extremely valuable resource for our population.” Michael Rylaarsdam, Oxford Academy Teacher
