Financial literacy refers to one's ability to understand and responsibly manage their finances, enabling them to build a stable foundation for their future. Developing financial literacy to improve your personal finances involves learning and practicing a variety of skills related to budgeting, managing debt, understanding credit, and banking products. Our financial aid office has developed a series of programming highlighting the fundamentals of financial literacy to help students further their understanding of and achieve financial success.
