The financial literacy workshops aim to inform TRIO students of the financial aid process within a college/university setting. Students will have an opportunity to learn about the various types of financial aid available. These workshops will prepare students to prepare, complete, and/or renew their FAFSA and learn how to budget their finances. TRIO will aim to educate students on making financial decisions that will help them throughout their college careers and in their personal life. In conjunction with the workshops, TRIO will introduce GradReady to TRIO students and provide topics for review on personal finances, loans, and budgeting.
