\nThrough WeAreTeachers<\/a>, a popular online media brand for educators, Regions is delivering real-world math and money activities for K-8 students in Adventures in Math<\/a>. This free educational program features interactive games, lesson plans, at-home activities, and family resources. Adventures in Math is available to everyone and can help teach students math skills and \ufb01nancial responsibility.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBuilding healthy financial habits early can help set a strong foundation throughout students\u2019 school years and into adulthood,\u201d said Joye Hehn, Next Step financial education manager for Regions Bank. \u201cThese activities provide a fun, engaging way for teachers and parents to introduce young students to the value of money and help them gain financial literacy as they head back into the classroom this fall.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAdditionally, Regions is working with the financial wellness education company iGrad to provide money-management resources to students attending select Southeastern Conference (SEC) Universities and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs\u200b). Regions recently launched its custom financial wellness platform for Mississippi State University, with immediate plans to expand to Auburn University followed by more SEC Universities and HBCUs. Through the platform, students have access to a wide array of courses and articles, a student loan-management tool to help students with budgeting, scholarship and job search databases, and more.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhether back-to-school means you\u2019re starting your first year or preparing for graduation, knowledge is power when managing college finances and beyond,\u201d said Hehn. \u201cThrough iGrad, Regions is proud to provide students with access to financial education resources to help them build skills they will use now and long after they graduate.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBeyond these platforms, Regions provides free tools and resources to help students of all ages and their families be financially prepared for back-to-school season and year-round needs. Additional Next Step resources include:\n<\/p>\n
