Financial Wellness
The Financial Wellness program strives to provide resources, guidance, and activities to help students manage their money and build healthy financial habits towards stability. Special thanks to TransAmerica our Financial Wellness sponsor.
Why is it important?
Money plays a critical
role in our lives and not having enough of it impacts health as well as academic performance. Financial stress is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety and fear for college students. Keeping track of expenses, making a budget,
and sticking to it are important skills to have in order to be financially responsible and independent. Learning how to maximize your financial wellness now will help you feel prepared to handle potentially stressful financial situations in the future.

Student Financial Literacy
Money Geek
For many students, the implications of COVID-19 will change how they pay for college. Funding opportunities — such as scholarships — could fall through, or layoffs could occur if they haven't already. No matter what a student's current financial situation (or their family's), they should educate themselves on how the pandemic impacts different funding options to be better prepared for any changes.
