Create YOUR College Financial Plan
Much like meeting with your academic advisor to plan a successful program of study to meet your life goals, meeting with a peer financial counselor can help you develop a college financial plan to optimize your financial success during and after college.
Meet with us before your first semester to begin creating your college financial plan and continue each semester with a follow up session to monitor your financial progress. Let us help you create YOUR personal college financial plan so that upon graduating you will understand your financial situation and education loans and can transition into your career succesfully. There are many options for funding your education that can help reduce the amount of student loan debt when you graduate.
A peer financial counselor can help you create YOUR college financial plan with the following steps:
- Step One: Determine your cost of attendance and create your personal spending plan
- Step Two: Assess your financial opportunities and options for scholarships, grants, savings, part-time work, work-study, gifts, or loans
- Step Three: If considering loans, determine an appropriate amount with loan repayment calculators then our loan repayment worksheet
- Step Four: Create your college financial plan with the assistance of your peer financial counselor
- Step Five: Review your college financial plan each academic period with your peer financial counselor and make any necessary adjustments
