📣 Opportunity for Hancock Place Middle School 8th Graders!

The St. Louis Junior Bonds Program is now accepting applications, and Hancock Place Middle School students qualify. This program will select 300 current 8th grade students from eligible St. Louis area districts to receive an investment of about $5,000, which will grow over time and be available starting in 2030.

Funds can be used for important future goals like college, buying a first home, starting a business, or retirement savings. The program also offers free financial planning resources to help students and families plan for the future.

Students must meet program eligibility requirements to apply.

If you’re the parent or guardian of an 8th grader at Hancock Place Middle School, this could be a great opportunity to support your child’s future!
