“While freshmen and their parents are likely thinking more about tests and academics during orientation, the fact is that after graduation a student's credit rating is arguably far more important to his or her future than grade point averages.”

Why Financial Literacy?

Robert D. Manning, Ph.D., Author - Credit Card NationResearch Professor and the Director of the Center for Consumer Financial Services at Rochester Institute of Technology.

What is financial literacy?Money Debt

Parental InfluencesHow America Pays for College

70 percent of students and parents said a student’s expected post-graduation income did not make a difference on their borrowing decisions?

With so many students and their parents not considering cost in the college selection process, the stage is set for student success issues.

Brigham Young UniversityFinancial Path to Graduation

Strength: Positioning/Infrastructure• Academic planning and financial planning proceed on

parallel tracks.

• Students must file a financial plan with the Financial Aid Office before their loan eligibility is certified.

• This process informs how much students will need to borrow to finance their education and the impact on their lives after graduation.

University of ArizonaCredit Wise Cats

Strength: Peer-to-Peer Program

• Credit Wise Cats is a student-run group on a mission to educate students about smart spending and financial planning.

• UA's Credit Wise Cats said they counsel people with practically any financial woe through a series of group workshops or one-on-one meetings.

Iowa State UniversityConsumer & Financial Management

Strength: Use of Technology• The Internet is used to offer select information to

individuals

• One creative example of using technology to spread financial literacy is the weekly financial tips.

• Over 40,000 individuals signed up to receive weekly financial tips during a three-year period.

Iowa State UniversityGovernment of the Student Body (GSB)

Strength: Student Initiated and Funded• Funded a financial information campaign in response to press

coverage about excessive student debt.

• A recession calls for us to make tough choices, but a recession is exactly the time when economic and financial education is so critical.

• Will promote existing programs: Tip of the Week, financial literacy classes, and a Financial Counseling Clinic.

Information Inquiry Intervention Impact

Financial Literacy

What do we know about financial literacy?What do we know about our students?What do we know about our institution?

Financial Literacy

UH Manoa: InformationTwo out of three students leave college with debt.The effects of college debt are far-reaching.There has been a significant increase in bankruptcy filings by the under age 25 group.80% of undergraduate students have between one and four credit cards.High school students have limited access to financial education other than what they learn from parents.81% of parents rated their money practices as poor.Only 10% of students in the Family and Consumer Sciences upper division classes had any formal money management coursework

What do we need to know?How do we find out?What will we do with the information?

Financial Literacy

UH Manoa: InquiryStudents were asked to complete a survey:

What kind of financial information would be of interest to college students?How would students prefer the information be delivered?

Faculty and staff completed parallel survey:Included those who counsel or teach students in the area of money management.Questions focused on interest, preferred presentation, and delivery

UH Manoa: Inquiry (continued)

Financial information of interest to students:Investing for the future. Getting ahead financially after graduation. Avoiding credit problems. Budgeting income and expenses.

Information of interest to faculty staff:BudgetingAvoiding credit problemsMaking the most of student loansAvoiding ID theft, fraud, and scams

UH Manoa: Inquiry (continued)How students prefer to receive financial information:

As part of a financial aid interviewAs part of special event with free foodAs part of extra credit in a university classThrough a websiteAt the university’s New Student Orientation program

Faculty and staff choices for delivery of information:As part of special event with free foodThrough a websiteAs part of extra credit in a university classAs part of a financial aid interviewAt the university’s New Student Orientation program

What did we learn?What can/should we do about it?

Financial Literacy

UH Manoa: InterventionValidated student interest in a variety of financial topics and they have definite ideas on how they would like to receive the information.

Concluded that students are interested in learning about financial futures; faculty and staff focus on the present.

Identified a cadre of faculty and staff to collaborate on delivery of programs that reach a wider college student audience.

Recognized the importance of surveying intended audience and their teachers before selecting a program.

UHM: Intervention (continued)Began with a pilot financial education project.Peer financial educators were selected.Utilized common interests indicated by students and faculty/staff in the selection of a curriculum. Twelve curricula were reviewed for relevance and quality of materials.

What worked? What didn’t?What’s the payoff for the student? What’s the payoff for the institution?

Financial Literacy

UHM: ImpactWorkshop Participation

20 sessions for 500 students offerednew-student orientation workshops, dormitory programs freshman seminars ad hoc requests

Workshop Evaluations471 students gained new knowledge and understanding of basic personal financial management. When compared with non-participants, workshop attendees had increased their awareness of money management practices.

Workshop participants demonstrated greater awareness on 13 of 20 indicators, with significant differences on five of those indicators.

UHM: Impact (continued)Program Growth:

Shilder College of Business faculty now incorporate the materials in training peer educators and other students pursuing financial planning as a career.

Students can get class project credit for developing, offering and assessing financial education units for their peers

Previous generational values and behaviors

that influenced current college students

Additional Student Loan Requirements

Students must request student loans by a separate process; complete and additional in-person group counseling session.provide a program of study to the FA Office.review their NSLDS (National Student Loan Database System) record annually to understand their aggregate loan indebtedness.Students who leave, drop out or graduate are required to complete the Exit Loan Counseling again as well.

stay within a reasonable community college loan level of indebtedness. With the new increases, effective July 1, 2008, SMCC recommends dependent students stay within a $12,500 aggregate and independent students stay within a $25,000 aggregate.
