New Web-based Financial Education for College Students

Credit card companies along with other creditors routinely target college students for their products and services. If a student is not careful, it is possible for them to become loaded with debt before they even graduate. Think this is a remote problem? Think again. Today, far more college students are stacking up on debt than ever before. What is the primary reason? It is due to a lack of a solid personal financial education.

To combat this issue, colleges are increasingly offering financial education as part of their curriculum. They recognize the long-term intrinsic value of such a class. While these classes are not mandatory it is a good step in the right direction to promote financial literacy to those who will need it most. Further, colleges are increasing looking for new ways to expand their financial education programs and services for their students.

Companies like eFinancial Portals, a division of Strativia Software work with colleges to build branded financial education web portals and other web-based resources. These portals are accessed from the school intranet and are available to students and staff, but not the general public. These financial education web portals serve as a platform to achieve specific educational initiatives, reach specific target groups, and as a public relations medium.

eFinancial Portals branded portals are creative and user-friendly with a focus on financial literacy, investor education, and retirement preparation and planning. Our sites are designed and written to speak a cohesive message to your students. Providing the most current content along with interactive tools, assessments, surveys, calculators, and other resources helps ensure your students find what they want when they need it.

Tools like those offered by eFinancial Portals help college students place more importance on managing their money starting now. College students learn to establish a spending plan, develop an emergency fund, understand investing, and start retirement planning. The benefits of these web portals will positively affect these students for a lifetime. "When I was in college, no one ever talked to me about money management," says Donnell Peterson, a George Washington University College Student. "The portal has everything you need to know about managing your money for now and for years to come!"
