The TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Money Mondays Financial Literacy series is designed to educate and assist students with one of the most important responsibilities they encounter when entering college: financial independence. Learning how to navigate this newfound freedom can be confusing and often challenging. Knowing that a solid financial foundation can lead to a lifetime of financial success, VCU TRIO SSS has collaborated with the Virginia Credit Union to empower students with personal finance skills that can be practiced in their everyday lives.

Building a Better Budget
“Building a Better Budget” is a hands-on workshop providing students with practical advice for creating and sticking to a budget with tools to track spending and establish college-friendly savings goals.
Financial Independence
This interactive workshop will cover money management principles and the financial challenges facing an emerging generation. The session includes an in-depth look at effective cash flow, understanding student loans, and building a savings and investment plan that will carry over to life after VCU.
Paying for College
Attendees will learn about different options to pay for college, including financial aid, scholarships, savings, and student loans.
