    Program Highlights

    • Students go through the day as their 26-year-old self. They have a career, a family, and, most importantly, bills and living expenses.
    • As students visit each station, they quickly realize the importance of a budget. They have to make decisions so they can afford everything needed to live on their own.
    • Reality Check is a unique and eye-opening experience for students.
    • Perfect for 50-100 students per day.
    • Compliments our It’s A Money Thing Academy, our web-based learning platform.
