Why encourage young people to save? Elliott and Beverly in the paper The Role of Savings and Wealth in Reducing Wilt Between Expectations And College Attendance (2010) state that - when a savings account is set up for students, they are 4 times more likely to go to college and/or complete post high school training. if students have a savings account in their name, they are 7 times more likely to go to college.
Why Connect Financial Education and Savings Accounts? Academic achievement – educational savings account ownership is associated with higher scores on math achievement tests Improved college aspirations – children with < $500 in savings for college are 3X more likely to attend and 4X more likely to graduate from college Financial health - students with a savings account 7 years later were 2X more likely to have a savings account and 4X more likely to own stocks
