We have several partnership scholarships with community organizations and institutions around the nation. Education Each year, our staff or trained volunteers provide an average of 70 separate presentations on a variety of financial topics to the military, and federal employee audiences. In 2009, FCEF launched our educator-developed and approved "Money Matters" curriculum to help high school students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to take control of their financial future. Our "Military Money Matters" includes five military-specific modules in addition to the 12 basic modules. And this year we introduced our new smartphone app, "SavvySaver," to help people learn some basics about finances. Our educational presentations are offered free of charge to public schools as well as military organizations and families.
