Congrats to the Fall 2024 Psychology and Technology in Personal Finance ASU/NGPF Cohort!

Join NGPF in congratulating the Fall 2024 cohort of participants for ASU’s Psychology and Technology in Personal Finance for Educators graduate course! After having already completed NGPF’s prerequisite certification courses, these participants were awarded scholarships to be able to take the newest graduate course with Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business because of their dedication to personal finance education. 

 

Here is what some participants said about their experience:

"These courses are an awesome expansion of what we previously learned through NGPF's Certification course. Even though it had been a while since I completed the certification, it took no time to get back into the groove and become engaged with the content and learning."

- Susan Lamoreau in ME

"I was quite excited to be able to continue learning about personal finance education after having completed all of NGPF's course offerings and ASU's courses have lived up to my expectations. I felt very prepared by NGPF's courses but also learned new content. Earning 9 credits and now being able to roll my work into a Master's program is a great incentive, too!"

- Eric Dorward in PA

"The Psychology & Technology in Personal Finance was an amazing course! I loved that in integrated psychological behaviors and how technology can either help combat the behaviors or increase them. It really just made me reflect on my own actions with finance, but then also gave me insights to teach and share with my students."

- Amy Amber in IL
