As you navigate your student experience at the University of Houston, it’s important to stay on top of your finances. From budgeting and banking basics, to understanding credit scores and student loan repayment, learning about personal finance can assist you in making the best decisions for your finances and your future.

- Resume review
- Student loan tracking
- Monthly $1000 money skill challenge giveaway
- And plenty more
