Our Mission

The mission of the WKU Center for Financial Success is to be the primary and coordinating resource in aiding the university and regional community in becoming financially informed and independent by utilizing a combination of faculty expertise, peer-to-peer coaching and applied financial planning education. 

 

Financial Coaching Program

An on-site clinic currently staffed by trained Financial Success Coaches offers guidance concerning financial literacy topics to WKU and the community at large.

 

Campus and Community Financial Education Outreach Program

The Center for Financial Success (CFS) strives to be the regional coordinator for financial literacy initiatives. We focus on three key areas: serving our WKU student population first, extending support to the greater campus community—including faculty and staff—and engaging the regional community through partnerships with local schools, organizations, employers, and nonprofits. We accomplish this by offering engaging, relevant presentations and workshops delivered through the dedication of our student financial coaches. These presentations are developed using a combination of faculty expertise and the applied learning of our student coaches, ensuring impactful and accessible financial education for all.

Presentations and Workshops Available*:

• Basic and Advanced Budgeting Techniques
• Credit and Debt Management: Myths, Truths, & Strategies
• Student Loans and Paying for School
