Benjamin Franklin Award
National Student Loan Program is pleased to announce that the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville is the 2008 winner of the
Benjamin Franklin Award. The university’s successful program
includes several components, which evolved from an initial
assessment of the financial knowledge of their first-year and
fourth-year students to determine what students needed most.
NSLP established the Benjamin Franklin Award to recognize outstanding financial literacy programs by post-secondary schools. The award is given to one school annually in conjunction with Financial Literacy Awareness Month in April. Financial literacy programs are evaluated on four key areas of creativity, quality, effectiveness and sustainability. Applications for the 2009 award are due December 31. Schools are not required to use NSLP’s products to be eligible for the award.
