The CFA Society Pittsburgh launched a high school financial literacy campaign resulting in sig- nificant improvements in financial behavior, subjective and objective financial knowledge, and self- esteem. Before the campaign, male students and students with higher grade point averages (GPAs) show better objective knowledge. In addition, we find disconnect between actual and perceived fi- nancial knowledge. Students exhibited gains in all aspects after completing the program. The subca- tegories with the lowest pre-survey scores or female students show the greatest improvements in the post-survey. Students with lower GPAs experienced greater improvement in financial behavior and objective knowledge, while higher GPA students improved more in subjective knowledge.
