Question 11

Should The Prosperity Blueprint be taught in lieu of our existing financial literacy coursework?

Accepted Answer

The Prosperity Blueprint is not your standard financial literacy program. Instead, it covers the practical lessons that people face in the real-world. For this reason, we recommend teaching it as a supplement to your existing financial literacy coursework.

Question 12

What if some of our students don't have access to a computer and internet at home?

Accepted Answer

We believe that financial literacy should be available to all students and so the program is available online and in print. The physical print version is best for schools that do not require students to have laptops or tablets.

The physical workbook also comes with the benefit of providing students with a quick resource where they can access a hands-on record of their financial plans, projections and goals.

Question 13

Our school would like to incorporate The Prosperity Blueprint into our curriculum, but we lack the budget. What can we do?

Accepted Answer

We understand budgets are tight. Schools often cover the cost of The Prosperity Blueprint though fundraising via their parent-teacher associations/organizations. Additionally, local businesses are often happy to help support schools in their community by gifting them the program.

On top of that, we also offer scholarships for schools in need. Scholarships provide schools in need with a discount ranging from 30 to 100 percent off the program cost for the online version.
