Sign up now for free financial well-being workshop series

Submitted by Jodi Kaus

Kansas State University is offering free financial workshops for all students to help build financial skills and enhance financial well-being.

The following are topics for the spring 2023 semester:

  • Budgeting — gain methods and tools needed to reach your financial goals.
  • Credit and student loans — understand the advantages and disadvantages of credit, how to improve your credit score and how to navigate student loan decisions.
  • Money beliefs — Determine who and what influences your money beliefs to help you overcome financial stress and build financial resilience.

Students have the option to sign up in OrgCentral to either attend peer-led workshops in person or to participate in an online non-enrolled Canvas course and work through the material at their own pace. In-person workshops are eligible for Cat Trax credit via the OrgCentral platform upon completion of a post-workshop reflection survey.

Sign up instructions can be found on the Powercat Financial website

As part of all the Building Financial Well-being workshop series, students will schedule an appointment with Powercat Financial for a free college financial planning session, which has been shown to reduce financial stress and positively impact student loan borrowing.
