Congrats to the Fall 2024 Investment Management ASU/NGPF Cohort!

Join NGPF in congratulating the Fall 2024 cohort of participants for ASU’s Investment Management for Educators graduate course! After having already completed NGPF’s prerequisite certification courses, these participants were awarded scholarships to be able to take a graduate course with Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business because of their dedication to personal finance education. 

 

Here is what some participants said about their experience:

"The course was well designed and I felt well prepared having taken the investment certification courses offered by NGPF. It was not overwhelming to complete, even though it was at the start of a new school year, I still found it doable to complete."

- Kate Saeli in AZ

"These are the first college courses I've ever taken that made me want to continue to the next module and I didn't want them to end! I learned so much that has already made me a better teacher of Personal Finance and I am better equipped to answer the higher thinking questions some of my students are asking this year."

- Sarah Kraus in NE

"I really enjoyed the ASU Investment Management for Educators course. It did a terrific job building off of the NGPF Investing and Advanced Investing course, not doubling up on material, and adding additional insight into the investment process. Really appreciated the organized and user-friendly structure of the class... one of the better online university courses I've taken!"

- Mark Chapman in OH
