The Office of Financial Literacy will kick off its celebration of Financial Literacy Awareness Month in April 2025 by hosting 10 unique educational events and a networking mixer open to all Syracuse University students during Financial Literacy Week from April 7 to 11. These events will cover essential financial topics ranging from teaching the basics of budgeting, investing, borrowing and credit to learning how to read a paycheck, emergency financial planning and navigating financial stress.

The Office of Financial Literacy works year-round to offer accessible and equitable financial education to Syracuse University students and alumni with one-on-one peer counseling services, educational programming and free online budgeting and saving tools. Financial Literacy Awareness Month is celebrated annually across the nation in April and was created over a decade ago to raise public awareness about the importance of financial education.

Many University students often express concern with the rising cost of living. On top of this, with tax season, summer study abroad programs, internships and graduation fast approaching students may feel overwhelmed in managing their personal finances. The Office of Financial Literacy is focused on helping students manage such costs including tuition, personal expenses, credit and student loan debts, making the office an essential resource for students to take advantage of.

“Financial literacy brings clarity and certainty to both your immediate and long-term future,” says Karina Anderson, assistant director of financial literacy programs. “This April is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of empowering our students with the right financial knowledge to feel confident in navigating their journey to independence and achieving their goals.”

Here is a preview of some of the events that will be offered during Financial Literacy Week:

  • Your Financial Map – Building a Sustainable Budget: Monday, April 7, 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
  • Borrowing and Credit Confidence – Building a Strong Financial Future: Tuesday, April 8, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
  • Investing for Beginners: Thursday, April 10, 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.
  • Panel Discussion: Balancing Finances & Mental Health: Thursday, April 10, 3:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
