Stukent Receives President’s Award from NEACH for Innovation in Financial Education

Stukent Inc. has been awarded the President’s Award from the New England Automated Clearing House (NEACH). IDAHO FALLS, ID, UNITED STATES, June 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stukent^®, a leader in education technology, has been awarded the President’s Award from the New England Automated Clearing House (NEACH). The award honors a company that has made significant achievements in the innovation, development, implementation, or advancement of electronic payments for the benefit of the financial institution or its customers/members.

Stukent earned this recognition for its Personal Finance Simulation, a hands-on learning tool that helps students understand and manage real-world financial scenarios. Through decision-based learning, students make everyday financial choices, encounter the consequences of those decisions, and develop critical life skills — all within a classroom setting.

“Financial illiteracy is a nationwide challenge, and we believe the best solution is experiential learning,” said Jim Holm, CEO of Stukent. “By simulating real-world financial activities, we’re preparing students to step into adulthood with competence and confidence. Financial literacy is a basic building block that helps students lift themselves, their families, and their communities. We are grateful to NEACH for this recognition and remain committed to aligning educational impact with long-term financial wellness.”

The simulation is offered year-round in classrooms and made possible through sponsorships from local financial institutions. These partnerships allow schools to provide students with real-world financial education at no cost, while giving banks and credit unions the opportunity to connect with future account holders who understand how to manage their money.

“We’re proud to honor Stukent with NEACH’s President’s Award,” said Sean Carter, AAP President and CEO of NEACH. “Their hands-on program transforms how students learn about banking, budgeting, and taxes — creating lasting impact in classrooms and communities.”
