Emory Financial Aid - Student Money Management

Welcome to Emory's Student Money Management Website.

Money, or the lack of, is oftentimes a source of tension for many, especially college students. Today’s college students are bombarded with ads, commercials and mailings indicating that you must spend money to be happy. The college life normally means learning the most effective ways to manage (stretch) your money. Financial hardships can make college life difficult.

Proper financial planning consists of identifying your financial goals and establishing ways in which to reach these goals. Proper financial planning or money management is more than paying loans and credit card bills, it means having the adequate knowledge to make responsible, wise decisions. It is the goal of this website to provide you with a sound personal financial management foundation to help you meet life’s challenges and opportunities.

Emory Celebrates National Financial Literacy Month

“Step into the World of Financial Literacy” with the Emory Peer Financial Counselors and the Office of Financial Aid as we celebrate National Financial Literacy during the month of April. During this month, Emory’s Peer Financial Counselors will highlight the importance of financial literacy and promote the importance of maintaining healthy financial habits. Making well informed decisions about money is an important life skill, particularly during this difficult economy.

Have you been working hard to meet your new year’s resolutions? You may have spent the first few months of 2013 getting physically fit or quitting a bad habit. Did one of your resolutions include becoming financially fit? We can help you develop a plan during National Financial Literacy Month.

The month will be filled with a series of on-campus events to get you in tip-top financial shape. Our festivities will kick off on Friday, March 29, 2013 from 11am-2pm in the Quadrangle. Come out and see some of your favorite Emory step teams and dance groups perform while receiving valuable information on topics such as student loan repayment options, saving, investing and credit management.

Events will continue throughout April. Week 2 will include one-on-one personal finance sessions provided with a professional financial advisor. During the week of April 15th, student loan repayment seminars will be offered across campus. The final week’s theme is dedicated to “Finding Your Financial Freedom”. Hear some of your favorite professors discuss investment strategies and listen to their personal experiences on money management.
