GIBBON, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg is in central Nebraska to launch a new financial literacy education program for high school students.

Stenberg will be at Gibbon High School on Wednesday to launch the NEST Financial Scholars program, which can be accessed on the State Treasurer's website at www.treasurer.org at no charge to schools or students.

The Wednesday afternoon event will include a demonstration of the web-based program, developed by Washington, D.C.-based educational technology company EverFi. The website uses digital games to educate students on critical financial topics.
