Financial Literacy

What is a Pioneering Spirit? It’s a willingness to endure hardship in order to explore new places or try out new things, and starting College is an exciting time, full of new found freedom and ideas. It can also be a time of uncertainty when it comes to navigating your personal finances.  It is critical for students to understand basic money management skills such as living within a budget and handling credit and debt. By working to create a solid financial foundation, you help yourself to start down a path that can help you enjoy freedom from financial woes.
