Our Program
Whether you’re headed into the workforce, headed to higher education, or both - high school is the final step in making sure you’re ready. We’re proud to be part of that preparation with our Financial Education programming.
A Passion for education
The communities we serve will tell you that Commonwealth Credit Union is no stranger to the classroom. That's why we were thrilled when Kentucky passed a law requiring all high school students to complete financial education programming. We immediately scaled up our program, Common Cents on Campus, which now fully aligns with - and exceeds - the Kentucky Department of Education’s Financial Literacy Standards for grades 9-12.
