Our commitment to financial education

Helping people achieve brighter financial futures is at the core of what we do at Discover. We are committed to bringing financial education to students nationwide, and we partner with schools, communities and organizations to fulfill this commitment.

The State of the Issue

More than 1 in 6 students in the US do not reach the baseline level of proficiency in financial literacy.
Nearly 1/4 of millennials spend more than they earn.
67% of Gen Y have less than 3 months worth of emergency funds.

Who we are

Discover believes brighter financial futures begin by providing students with the skills they need to help them succeed long after they leave the classroom. To support this vision, Pathway to Financial Success is bringing financial education to students across the country.
