During September and October, the Financial Wellness Committee hosted six workshops aimed at helping first year (NHS) students learn the basics of personal finance. The workshops covered topics such as budgeting, loans, credit, living like a student, and planning for the sophomore year. We engaged students with interactive exercises, a student panel, guest speakers, and trivia games. Each time students attended a workshop, they were entered into a drawing to win one of fourteen $1000 awards.
A total of 312 students attended the workshops. 100% of surveyed students responded that the workshops were helpful and 96% said they learned something new about finances. Thank you to those who helped make this pilot effort a success!
