The inaugural Cherry Blossom Financial Education Institute invites the best researchers from around the world to present their financial education research that is in progress. In addition to presentations by scholars, we have a poster session dedicated to the work of PhD students. 

GFLEC in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau hosted the U.S. release of the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) financial literacy data on July 9, 2014.

The National Financial Capability Study (NFCS) is an ongoing, multi-year project aimed at monitoring and better understanding financial capability in America. The NFCS was first conducted in 2009 and then repeated every three years. GFLEC and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation co-hosted the release of the 2012 and 2015 data.
