Financial Literacy
The Financial Aid Office is proud to announce the development of a pilot program for financial literacy. We hope to educate students on a wide range of financial topics, from creating good credit to loan repayment. We are currently developing programs with our new partner and will be announcing them soon!
If you would prefer to do something from the privacy of your room, try the free online money management program CashCourse. If you do use this program, please email us at [[aid]] to let us know how it worked for you!
