TruMark Financial Credit Union hosted its 16th annual Financial Jeopardy competition on May 3 at TruMark Financial Headquarters, Fort Washington.
The Financial Jeopardy competition, a spin-off of the long-running nightly quiz show that airs on 6ABC in Philadelphia, tested students’ personal finance knowledge in categories such as banking, credit, taxes, budgeting, and investments. To enter the competition, local teachers referred students who exemplified financial knowledge to compete to win college scholarships to assist with their education expenses. TruMark Financial’s Chuck Sanford hosted the event which included three initial introductory rounds, a Double Jeopardy round, and a final round to determine the winner.
At the end of the competition, TruMark Financial awarded three scholarships – a $5,000 grand prize, a $3,000 second prize, and a $2,000 third prize – to the students who fared best:
Daniel Schoen of Neshaminy High School won second place. In addition to the top three prizes, TruMark Financial awarded $200 to each of the other contestants, including Nicolas Buono of William Tennent High School.
