Having a clear understanding of your finances and feeling confident in your ability to manage financial resources in order to feel secure while meeting current and on-going needs is an important part of supporting your overall well-being. That’s why Student Financial Services is partnering with the International Student and Scholars Office to discuss Financial Wellness!
During this session, Student Financial Services will provide a demonstration of the University’s no cost, web-based financial literacy platform that provides personalized financial wellness education to Columbia University students both now and after leaving school.
iGrad offers an array of interactive financial education and wellness tools, scholarship information, student loan management resources, videos, articles and more to help you:
- Create a budget or a financial plan
- Manage your money, including your credit and savings
- Learn about personal and consumer finances, such as mortgages, car loans and credit cards
- Search for scholarships (filter results by study or interest area, requirements, etc.)
- Take steps toward achieving your personal state of financial wellness
We encourage you to create your iGrad account by visiting https://columbia.igrad.com/ and signing up for an account using your school email address. We can also assist you with creating your iGrad account at the session. We look forward to seeing you there!
