Local Credit Union Foundation Empowers Students with Financial Literacy & Scholarships

NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The OnPath Foundation is celebrating Financial Literacy Month this April by highlighting the impact of its financial education initiatives and scholarship program. As part of its commitment to education, the Foundation has partnered with Stukent to provide students with hands-on financial literacy training, preparing them for real-world money management.

“Financial literacy is a game-changer for young people, and we are proud to invest in their future through both education and scholarship opportunities,” said Jay Huffstatler, OnPath Foundation Executive Director. “Through our partnership with Stukent, students gain real-world financial skills that set them up for lifelong success.” Huffstatler provides strategic leadership and operational oversight of the foundation’s mission-driven initiatives, programs, growth and community engagement.

Students who have used Stukent report feeling more confident in budgeting, saving, and making financial decisions. One student, Lola, shared, “Stukent taught me how to responsibly save, spend and earn money. Their credit card simulation taught me how to be responsible with a credit card.”
