Money Management ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø launches to help LU students gain financial literacy
The ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid has established the Money Management ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø this year. The program is dedicated to providing information to ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø students to increase their money 
management understanding and how to take control of their personal finances.
“The program is a resource to help students to establish good money management habits now to avoid financial struggles in the future,” said Joe Malley, financial literacy specialist. “We are here to help students create an action plan on how to create a budget, live within their means and plan for the future.
Through the program students receive free personal consultations where they can get help creating a budget, learn how to avoid credit card debt and/or plan for next year’s expenses.
“We will also assist with questions regarding principles of banking and how to manage a student loan refund,” said Malley.
Students also have access to the program’s online resource, Financial Avenue. Financial Avenue is a free online program that offers a variety of courses to help students gain important knowledge to become financially capable. Financial Avenue is available to all LU students and can be accessed from the student’s “LU Connect” page.
