2021 Financial Planning Academy Update:

We have begun the planning process for Financial Planning Academy 2021. The health and safety of our campers, staff, and their families are of the utmost importance to us. Given the current guidelines regarding COVID-19 safety and precautions, we will be monitoring the situation to determine if we need to move our camp to an online format rather than in-person. Please keep checking back for more information.

What is Financial Planning Academy?

Financial Planning Academy, developed by Texas Tech University and funded by Charles Schwab Foundation, is a unique summer program that offers rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors education and training in the core areas of personal financial management. The week will include working on a financial planning case study, developing a financial plan, and participating in other competitions for scholarships and prizes. In addition to promoting financial literacy among America's youth, the camp will provide insight into the Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) industry and show students the value of financial planning as a profession.
