Financial Literacy for GSU Students
A college education is one of the most important investments of your lifetime.
At GSU, we want to make sure that you’re on the right financial path. That starts with educating yourself on how to manage your money effectively and make smart financial decisions. The financial choices that you make now, while in college, can have an everlasting impact on your life for years to come and set you up for retirement.
Financial literacy is based upon providing individuals with sound financial knowledge and skills so that they can make informed financial decisions and take effective actions regarding their personal money management. However, the underlying message is aimed to adjust people's core attitudes and beliefs, so that a change in financial behavior can help them reach a future of financial freedom and security.
