Financial Literacy

Making informed decisions about managing money and paying for college is becoming increasingly important for students. Financial literacy will empower KEY Center members with information to make decisions that impact their futures. When students manage their money, they are prepared to successfully meet their goals and have the finances available to make them a reality.

KEY Center members are to complete one financial literacy module per year. Students are able to cover a range of financial topics, such as budgeting basics and credit building.
