We want financial wellness to be part of your life!
Our mission is to educate and empower students with financial knowledge and resources, so they can ultimately apply this knowledge to their lives, have financial security, and attain financial wellness.
For many students, college is the first and most significant financial investment of a lifetime. We’d like to help you get the most out of this investment and not only develop financial literacy skills, but to develop a healthy sense of financial wellness that you can carry confidently into your future.
