Managing money can be overwhelming. We would like to simplify the process. We have pulled together a variety of resources to help you be more strategic and more effective managing your personal finances.

We are here to help you become more than just financially functional. We want you to be financially savvy. A financially savvy student understands why and how to make healthy personal financial choices; they see how those choices fit into the larger context of their lives and futures; they seek out needed tools and information; they empower others in their families and communities to cultivate financial savvy.
