The Problem
Students Are Entering Adulthood Financially Unprepared
Many students graduate with strong academic knowledge yet limited understanding of how money truly works — from managing income to evaluating financial decisions and navigating an increasingly complex economy.
Financial literacy is no longer optional.
It is foundational to long-term independence and opportunity.
