<strong>Impact of Futuresmart Online Financial Education Course on Financial Knowledge of Middle School     Students</strong><br><br> <span class="slider-date">March </span>2021<br> <p>The increasing role of schools in promoting financial literacy underscores the need to investigate the effectiveness     of school-based financial education programs. This study examined FutureSmart—a free, co-curricular, online     financial education course—using a quasi-experimental design with a diverse sample of middle school students     nationwide. The fundamental implication of this research is that FutureSmart effectively conveys financial knowledge     to middle school students, contributing to a foundation for their future financial well-being.</p><br><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/everfi/images/v1648656938/ImpactofFutureSmart-JJohnsonetal/ImpactofFutureSmart-JJohnsonetal.pdf?_i=AA" target="_blank" class="uabb-button ast-button uabb-creative-button uabb-creative-default-btn res-btn" role="link" aria-label="Read the Research" rel="noopener"> <span class="uabb-button-text uabb-creative-button-text">Read the Research</span></a>
