Peer Financial Coaching provides students with personalized support to build confidence and knowledge in managing their finances. Students can explore topics that matter most to them and develop practical skills to support their financial wellness throughout college and beyond. These sessions will begin Spring 2026.
Who We Are
Offering in-person 1 on 1 appointments located at the Health Promotion & Wellness office in Mary Burke East Suite 132, the Peer Financial Coaches are a campus wide resource dedicated to helping students increase their financial wellness knowledge. Peer Financial Coaching sessions include topics about Financial Basics, Basic Needs and Resources, and Planning for the Future.
Make an Appointment
Peer Financial Coaching appointments are designed to help you grow in different areas of financial literacy. Whether you want to learn about the basics of budgeting, lower cost grocery shopping, or moving to a new city post-graduation; our Peer Financial Coaches are ready to help you. The one-on-one coaching sessions are customized to what you individually want to learn about. Once you select the topic and time for your appointment, you will receive a pre-appointment survey that will help the Peer Financial coach prepare for your coaching session.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To get the most out of your session, come prepared with the financial subjects you would like to focus on and how the Peer Financial Coach can assist you the most during your scheduled time.
