Our short multimedia presentations will tell you more about the basic facts behind the nation’s financial challenges. While the federal budget may seem intimidating, you don’t need a lot of information to get the big picture. These video and Flash presentations will give you a sense of where we are, where things are headed and why we need to take action now.

Study Uncle Sam's Students Face Up to the Nation's Finances has a contest each semester, in which college students tell us – in writing, or in a multimedia format - what they think about the federal budget deficit and national debt and what should be done about it. There are four prizes of $500 each, with two winning entries chosen by our judges and two chosen by students voting on each other's entries, submitted to and posted on FacingUp.org. All videos and essays from the Spring 2009 contest can be viewed online, along with the winners' list. Next round of the competition will be in the fall. Questions? Write to support@facingup.org.
