House Bill No. by Representatives Willard, Knox, and Mandie Landry aims to enhance the high school financial literacy curriculum in Louisiana by enacting a new requirement under R.S. 17:270(B)(2)(n). This new provision mandates that the financial literacy course include instruction on "scholarships, grants, and other financial opportunities to pay for postsecondary education." This addition is intended to better prepare students for the financial aspects of pursuing higher education.

The implementation of this new instructional requirement is set to begin in the 2025-2026 school year, ensuring that high school students will have access to essential information regarding funding options for postsecondary education as part of their financial literacy education. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving financial education and equipping students with the knowledge necessary to navigate their post-high school financial decisions.
