Financial Fitness for College and Beyond
Personal financial literacy is more than just balancing a checkbook, comparing prices or landing a job. It includes skills like long-term planning for the future, and the discipline to use those skills every day. As your senior prepares for graduation, we encourage them to take advantage of the free resources on the Student Financial Services website.
In addition to helpful PDFs, such as Achieving Financial Wellness and a Budget Worksheet, the website includes general financial literacy information and links to other online financial literacy resources. There is also a section dedicated to federal student aid and related advice, such as Responsible Borrowing and Loan Repayment: What to Expect.
Encourage your student to take advantage of these resources as they embark on this next phase of their life. Your student is welcome to reach out to their assistant director in the HUB for more information or questions concerning financial literacy.
