Knowlej today announced the launch of Knowlej Financial Futures, powered by leading financial technology company Chime, a new financial literacy challenge series designed for middle and high school students. The program pairs practical, student-friendly learning with rewards that reinforce a simple message: students can earn while they learn to power their own futures.
What’s Happening
Across the country, millions of students are missing school at an alarming rate, fueling a crisis of chronic absenteeism. Meanwhile, many graduate without the financial knowledge or habits needed for their future. Financial Futures addresses this by showing that when students find value in attending, everything changes.
Knowlej and Chime launch Financial Futures campaign to help students build financial confidence and strengthen engagement in school. Learn more about the program and how it can benefit your students!
Context
Knowlej Financial Futures is delivered through schools and districts using the Knowlej platform to drive participation and make learning feel relevant to students day to day. Currently, the Knowlej platform powers Financial Futures, which lets students participate in financial literacy challenges and helps them maintain attendance by offering rewards tied to consistent engagement.
We’re facing a moment where students are not just absent from school, but disconnected from what school represents. Financial Futures is about changing that.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
