Student Edition Overview

Students in today's world are faced with making many financial decisions on their own, often for the first time, and most students lack the knowledge and skills to make those decisions effectively. That's why the average college student graduates with over $4,000 in consumer debt and carrying several credit cards.

The Student Financial Lab is an interactive web-based financial life skills program. The program is designed to help students develop a mature understanding of financial topics so they can make responsible financial decisions...not just while in school, but for the rest of their lives.

A very effective way for students to improve their financial knowledge and skills is by completing the Student Financial Lab program. We believe that our program is a vital tool that can help students learn valuable life skills as well as gain the financial knowledge needed to effectively manage their financial situation throughout life.

The Student Financial Lab Program will teach students how to make better financial and life decisions that will affect their financial future and overall well being. Students are provided the ability to create an online, interactive budget. The spending pattern of each student is compared with U.S. government recommended spending ranges and the results provided to the student in the form of a Personal Spending Plan...a roadmap for the student on how to improve their financial situation which can have an immediate positive impact on their financial life.

We believe that financial education that lasts a lifetime is best provided as students enter the post secondary era of their lives. The Student Financial Lab provides colleges with an excellent opportunity to better prepare students to be successful while in college...and for a lifetime.
