My Project

This course offering requires the use of PFIN7 by Billingsley, Gitman and Joehnk as a student textbook. As our school does not have the funding to provide these required tools, I am reaching out to the DonorsChoose community to help me make this opportunity a reality for our deserving students.

This is the second of two projects to complete a class set of these required books.

Without completing this class set of books, we will be unable to offer this class to our students.

This would be an incredible wasted opportunity. Please help me to make this happen so that our students can develop into financially astute individuals who understand how to create and manage wealth so that they can realize the American dream through upward socioeconomic mobility.

A great group of driven scholars have elected to challenge themselves with taking ECN 305 [The Economics of Personal Finance] through Syracuse University Project Advance. These students in our Harlem college preparatory public high school plan to attend and graduate from college (most of them as the first generation in their family to do so) and pursue a career in medicine, engineering, business, psychology, criminology, social work, teaching, and more.

These students understand that to be truly free, one must be financially independent.
