The 2025 RI Finance Challenge and 2025 RI Econ Challenge websites allowed RI high school teachers to log in and register as many teams of 3-4 students as they’d like. These exciting competitions were offered online and free of charge for all RI high school students, thanks to the generous funding sponsorship of the RI Jump$tart Coalition.
The online testing dates for the 2025 RI Finance Challenge and RI Econ Challenge were March 10-April 4, 2025.
A statewide awards ceremony will be held in June 2025 to recognize RI students, teachers, and schools for their outstanding performance in these Challenges.
Thank you and congratulations to all participating RI high schools and students whose dedicated teachers empowered them to compete in these important, nationally-recognized Challenges!
