Financial Literacy
The Financial Aid Office is committed to empowering students to make financially informed decisions towards attaining their educational goals and establishing financial wellness.

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.
