Students in the NTCC Work4College Program participated in the Money Matters financial literacy simulation fair this Thursday in the Student Union Building. The event, sponsored by Texas Heritage National Bank, is an exciting, interactive exercise to help students learn more about managing their personal finances.
"At NTCC, we believe it is very important for students to learn about financial literacy and to avoid making costly mistakes early in life. The simulation event is a fun way for them to get some insight into the cost of living," Mason May, Director of Work4College, said. "We appreciate everyone who helped make the event possible."
In addition to sponsoring the event and providing prizes for participants, Texas Heritage National Bank also sent volunteers to work at tables and educate students about various aspects of personal finance.
Money Matters is just one of many unique activities Work4College Students experience throughout the summer. For more information about Work4College, contact May at mmay@ntcc.edu, 903-434-8246 or visit www.work4college.com.
