Algebra, government, chemistry, art history….all are very important, but one subject tends to be neglected by some students (and a few state officials): financial management.

Help is on the way in the form of a $40,000 grant from EdFund’s EdShare program, slated for Cuesta’s Financial Aid Office. The grant will fund the Default Prevention and Financial Literacy Skills project, which includes intensive follow up with former students in loan default status and a series of workshops on developing financial skills – paying for education, staying out of debt, making wise monetary choices and planning for the future.
