Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy, Educational Planning and Outreach is a single point of service to assist Â鶹´«Ã½ Â鶹´«Ã½s, families and the local community with financial guidance.

Our goal is to ease the financial aid process for you and your family as you seek guidance, counseling and advice regarding your personal finances. We utilize a holistic and inclusive approach to facilitate financial literacy and educational planning that positively impacts your college experience. We know a strong correlation exists between academic success, retention and financial literacy skills, and our unit plays a critical role in all three.
