About MoneyWi$e University

Developed in partnership with Visa and first introduced on campuses in 2002, the MoneyWi$e University curriculum — Practical Money Skills for Life — touches on the financial challenges young adults face during the college years and educates them about the fundamental aspects of credit and budget management. Covering the financial “basics” like budgeting, using credit responsibly, reading a credit report and understanding the difference between financial “needs” vs. “wants”, MoneyWi$e University arms students with the financial knowledge they can use now to establish a lifetime of healthy financial habits.

Now in its third year, MoneyWi$e University has reached hundreds of students on campuses across the country, including Washington State University, the University of South Florida and the University of Alabama. Both the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) and the National Orientation Directors Association (NODA) have endorsed the program and its curriculum.
