Location:

Lloyd Ricks Watson (between Perry and the Junction)

Details:

Many students struggle to “make ends meet” in college, and as a result more students drop out of college due to financial stress than academic stress. This series of interactive workshops will help you learn the essentials of making wise choices and managing your financial life while you are in college. Good financial habits will help you get closer to your dreams and lessen the pitfalls and stress of poor credit ratings, identity theft, and never “having enough.”

This workshop will help you estimate the likely return on your investment in a college degree. By participating, you will be able to compare estimated monthly salaries of different college majors. We will also estimate monthly student loan repayments and your ability to pay off student loans given different majors.

Lunch provided to the first 30 students. Registration is not necessary, but is appreciated: email becky.smith@msstate.edu to confirm your attendance.
