The National Summit on Collegiate Financial Wellness exists to unite educators with a passion for student financial wellness, regardless of their functional areas of work within higher education. Our goal is to connect those who value the significance in students' understanding of how to manage their personal finances, and see to move forward this emerging field. This resource hosts regular webinars and an annual summit in June with great resources. You can sign-up to be a part of their listserv where participants ask and share information regarding Financial Literacy Resources that are available - most are free.
