The contest also puts the focus on children learning the power and purpose of financial literacy. In order to enter students, must write and submit a 250-word essay or create and submit an art project of what and how they can use what they learned from the bank’s free “I Got Bank!” e-book.
“Our contest and free book educate children on savings and investments, a profitable business, credit scores and home ownership,” said OneUnited Bank President Teri Williams who also authored the book. “We know that educating youth will inspire the entire family!”
