Financial Literacy

Finances can be a stress not only while you are in school, but once you graduate as well. While we do our best to remove those financial stressors while you are here, we can’t always be there in the same way after you graduate. Instead, it is our desire to equip you with tools and knowledge so that you feel prepared and confident in the financial decisions you will have while you are in school and for life after.

PTS has teamed up with Inceptia to give you a leg up on financial education via their online program, Financial Avenue. Financial Avenue provides you with smart resources to help demystify the world of personal finance. Getting a handle on your money doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or restrictive. It’s all about empowering yourself with smart basics, and planning from there.

With Inceptia’s money mascot, the Knowl, as your trusty guide, you will have access to 10 online courses that take on big financial topics, including:

• Psychology of Money
• Foundations of Money
• College and Money
• FAFSA
• Loan Guidance
• Earning Money
• Credit and Protecting Your Money
• Spending and Borrowing
• Debt and Repayment
• Future of Your Money

Sometimes financial education can be boring and it doesn’t always make a lot of sense if you don’t know how to put your knowledge into action. But, Financial Avenue provides quizzes, videos, interactive tools, and customized action plans at the end of each course. With all these tools, we’ve made it pretty easy to know exactly what you can begin doing right now to put your financial knowledge to good use.
