Financial Literacy & Wellness Badges
As a graduate student, balancing family, school, work, and financial decisions can be stressful. This stress can be especially overwhelming because many of us have never learned about financial topics or how to manage our finances in a healthy and sustainable way. Without this information, we are often left to juggle immediate expenses, struggling to reduce debt and save money for emergencies.
Learn how to plan for your future financial success by earning new Financial Literacy & Wellness Graduate Badges! The Graduate College’s research- and expert-informed content will help you learn about financial topics, steps you can take to improve your current financial situation, and how to create a future with minimal financial anxiety and stress.
