The State Treasurer’s Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE), in partnership with the Division of Banks (DOB) and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR), announced the 2024-2025 recipients of the Financial Education Innovation Fund Grant.

Millis High School received a grant in the amount of $6,400. 

Following a competitive application process that concluded in November, the state agencies awarded grants to 58 schools, totaling $201,272. This funding will allow Massachusetts high schools and special education programs to host financial education fairs, known as Credit for Life Fairs, for their students.

Of the 58 recipient schools, six received funding as Seed Applicants and will host fairs for the first time.

For the second year, participating schools that have a large population of low-to-moderate income students will receive an additional $500. Seventeen schools received this additional funding to bring much-needed financial education to students in the state’s most vulnerable communities.

“Financial literacy is the foundation for a more stable future, and Credit for Life Fairs empower our students with the tools they need to succeed,” said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. “These hands-on experiences give young adults the confidence to navigate real-world financial challenges and make informed decisions as they step into adulthood.”\
