Zander Insurance Delivers Financial Curriculum to Nearly 1,500 High School Students

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Almost 1,500 high school juniors and seniors in 31 schools across the country received Dave Ramsey's Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum during the 2013-2014 school year by way of Zander Insurance's sponsorship.

The Foundations in Personal Finance program is a complete, turn-key curriculum designed to fully equip teachers with everything they need to teach students how to avoid debt, budget with intention, invest and build wealth. 

"A quality financial education imparts fiscal responsibility and is often a predictor of personal financial success," said Jeff Zander, CEO of Zander Insurance. "Teaching this curriculum early, before students become employees, home-owners, parents and business-owners, will set the groundwork for a brighter future for these young adults.  We are proud to support Dave's initiative."

Less than half of high school seniors qualify as financially literate and more than 7 million borrowers are in default status for their college student loans. Students are facing tremendous financial challenges and too often lack the basic knowledge to face these challenges and thrive in the modern economy.

Zander Insurance's sponsorship of Dave Ramsey's Foundations in Personal Finance is a part of a larger giving campaign focused on assisting service members and educating their children about financial responsibility.  Since 2011, Zander has contributed nearly $100,000 to Operation Homefront, a national non-profit organization providing emergency financial and other assistance to the families of service members and wounded veterans.
