Whether you want to accelerate your learning or stretch it over several weeks, our Financial Education Center is your greatest companion.
We understand that you may want to take every course our education center offers, cherry-pick only a few, or just revisit old concepts. Our Top 3 Programs for Students get you up to speed!
Start Here: Each module of Building Financial Capabilities – one of our favorite plans – helps you understand the basics of how to think about money. Healthier habits are one program away!
Create a Budget – College is an expensive endeavor. Take this course to understand how to best set up your budget to help you thrive financially for your journey.
Talk to Your Family – Open and honest financial discussions help families get on the same page and encourage financial literacy. Wealthy families typically have discussions early on about the impact student loans can have on the rest of your life or how to apply for a loan.
Let’s normalize these conversations in all families to build our generational wealth and financial savviness.

Set up your checking account before you set out for school to maximize your benefits.
Build Better Credit – Your credit score is an immediate snapshot and a tool used to forecast what your future creditworthiness may look like. As a young adult entering newfound responsibilities, work on responsibly building your credit history so you can access financial products and lower interest rates.
