“NFTE’s mission has always been to correlate fundamental skills taught in school, like math, with business skills, so students can see and apply the real life value of what they’re learning,” said Steve Mariotti, founder of NFTE.
According to a recent press release about the award: 

The NFTE curriculum focuses on critical basic business skills that reinforce the fundamentals of mathematics, including how to calculate the economics of one unit, return on investment, the creation of income statements and balance sheets, and how to manage cash flow. These concepts are rounded out with essential business concepts such as opportunity recognition, creating a marketing plan, negotiation, time management and goal setting.

Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) provides entrepreneurship education programs to young people from low-income communities. It currently operates programs in 21 states and 12 countries and has over 1,500 active Certified Entrepreneurship Teachers.
