Improving Financial Literacy Through Coaching

MSFCP™ emphasizes changing student’s financial behavior, resulting in improved academic success, persistence, credential completion and lifelong financial health. Research shows that access to financial coaching can result in measurable gains for low- and moderate-income individuals in areas such as money management, financial health, and feelings of financial confidence and well-being. Thus, the Money Smart Financial Coaching Program™ model integrates one-on-one financial coaching with financial education outcomes delivered in a credit or noncredit course.

Other programs offer a standalone financial literacy course. MSFCP™ is ground-breaking in that the course is combined with our North Star – individualized financial coaching. This online course is specifically designed to educate colleges interested in the model as to how individualized coaching instills behavior change leading to life-long financial health.
