Our vision is unwavering: to provide every Mississippi student with a sound understanding of basic economic and personal finance principles. That means each young Mississippian grasps how economics relates to his or her life as a worker, citizen and consumer. That makes economic and personal finance education all of our business. We hope you will make it yours with an investment in economic and personal finance education.
