The goal of the Economics for Leaders (EFL) program is to give promising students the skills to be more effective leaders and to teach them how to employ economic analysis when considering difficult public policy choices. Students learn through a hands-on approach that explains economic concepts in exciting and relatable ways.
Given the existing challenges confronting our nation and, assuming that problems in years to come will be equally consequential, the job of preparing the next generation of leaders may be one of the most important actions we can take now to ensure our well being in the future. The Foundation for Teaching Economics is committed to finding and nurturing those budding leaders.
When applying, please tell your High School students to list “TFAS” in the “How did you hear about FTE?” section of the application.
