We offer workshops and one-on-one appointments to help students manage their personal finances in college and beyond. Although we are based in the Financial Aid and Scholarships office, we do not provide financial aid counseling.

🏫 College is academically rigorous. It is also financially complex.

Many students arrive at UC Berkeley without clear guidance on budgeting, loans, credit, or navigating unexpected financial challenges.

The Center for Financial Wellness provides free peer coaching and workshops to help students build financial confidence and stability.

During Big Give, even a modest gift makes a meaningful impact:

💙 • $25 supports coaching materials
💛 • $50 helps fund a workshop
💙 • $100 invests in student leadership training

🌟 When students gain financial confidence and stability, they stay enrolled, reduce stress, and focus on learning.

💸 Help us make financial wellness accessible to every student.

🗓️ From March 11, 9PM to March 12, 9PM, make a gift at: https://lnkd.in/gHtEtyWw
