Research Shows Improved Long-Term Financial Behaviors for In School Savings Student Participants

Research found in-school savings program participants were more likely to have a bank account in high school compared with nonparticipants and high school students with bank accounts are more likely to save regularly. Findings indicate that in-school savings programs contribute indirectly to saving regularly through their direct influence on getting students to open a bank account and open it early.
