Discover’s “Pathway to Financial Success” Wins 2014 Golden Trumpet Award Amid Financial Literacy Success

by | 06/10/14 | Commentary, Uncategorized

After winning the Excellence in Financial Literacy Education (ELFLE) Award for Corporate Leadership in April 2014 and 2 Golden Trumpet Awards in 2013, Pathway to Financial Success was recognized once again with the Golden Trumpet Award.

Due to the effort to raise broader awareness of the need for financial education and promote the availability of grants, Pathway to Financial Success was crowned with this accolade, which many financial literacy industry professionals call the most prestigious awards program of its type in the Midwest.

Discover Financial Services created this five-year, $10 million public relations investment to bring a financial education curriculum to public high schools across the country and to increase awareness of the importance of financial education in empowering young people to make important decisions with respect to their personal financial affairs. Since the launch of the program in 2012, it has awarded nearly $6 million in financial education grants to over 500 schools across the country.

Financial literacy professionals are looking forward to bridging the financial education gap in our country by launching similar programs in the months ahead.
