UM Financial Education Program Lifts Students Toward Success
"After graduating ... I was overwhelmed with my combined graduate and undergraduate loans..., the loan amount and re-payment process felt overwhelming and defeating.
A professor told me about the Financial Education Program and I set an appointment to learn more. I left the meeting feeling calm, relieved, and back in control of my financial future! ...
I am so grateful for this service and the one-on-one guidance. It's such a relief to have someone assist, free of charge, in this scary and overwhelming process!
I have been telling all my fellow graduates to take advantage of the Financial Education Program!"
~UM Alumni, Masters of Public Administration
