In 2008, The President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy de ned nancial literacy as "the
ability to use knowledge and skills to manage nancial resources effectively for a lifetime of
nancial well-being." Today, nine years later, the need for nancial literacy has become dire due
to rising college tuition costs that leave students in suffocating debt
(https://lendedu.com/blog/top-10-colleges-with-the-best- nancial-aid/).
According to the most recent data, the national student loan debt has climbed to $1.41 trillion.
Additionally, the average college student holds $28,400 in student loan debt. These stats are
particularly distressing because the average student knows nothing about their nances. For
example, a recent LendEDU study showed that 49.80% of college attendees incorrectly believed
the government would forgive their federal student loans. If students do not know basic
nancial information about student loans, how are they going to know how to balance a
checkbook, take out a mortgage, or invest in mutual fund?
In light of this, LendEDU has compiled a ranking of the 50 best nancial literacy programs
offered at colleges throughout the United States. Financial literacy initiatives have become
popular on college campuses in large part because of the in ated expenses required to attend
these institutions. Many schools now offer workshops, courses, one-on-one consultations, and
incentivizing programs to teach their students to become scally responsible.
Our study looked at hundreds of colleges and universities that are known to have a nancial
literacy program. Our rankings were based on 3 parameters: (1) Number of Workshops and
Resources Available; (2) Access to One-On-One Financial Consultation; (3) Incentivizing Programs
Available. Each parameter was graded on a 50 point scale (50 being the best) and that number
was multiplied by each parameter’s respective weight. The weights for the aforementioned
parameters were, respectively, 50%, 30%, and 20%. The total score was tallied on a 50 point
scale by adding together each parameter’s weighted score. Full methodology can be found at
the bottom of this page.

Full Methodology
LendEDU’s study of the Top 50 College Financial Literacy Programs was conducted by looking at
hundreds of colleges and universities in the United States that are known to have a nancial
literacy program. Our rankings were based on three parameters: (1) Number of Workshops and
Resources Available; (2) Access to One-On-One Financial Consultation; (3) Incentivizing Programs
Available.
Each parameter was judged on a 50 point scale (50 being the best, one being the worst). To
come up with a number score for each parameter for every school, each school’s readily
available information was tallied up, and a mean was found for each parameter. The mean was
used to assign a number score for each parameter for every school.
Once each parameter for each school was assigned a score, we were able to calculate a total
score. The total score was found by multiplying each parameters 50 point score by that
parameters assigned weight. Once that happened, we were able to add all three weighted
scores together to nd a total score on a 50 point scale. The rst parameter, Number of
Workshops and Resources Available, was weighted at 50%, or 25 of the 50 points. The second
parameter, Access to One-On-One Financial Consultation, was weighted at 30%, or 15 of the 50
points. The third parameter, Incentivizing Programs Available, was weighted at 20%, or 10 of the
50 points.
Here is a more detailed description of each parameter:
Number of Workshops and Resources Available: This was considered our most important
parameter and was weighted accordingly at 50%. Each school’s nancial literacy website was
examined to determine the number of nancial literacy workshops that were readily available.
Besides the amount of nancial literacy workshops, we also looked for the amount of resources
that were readily available. Resources could have been webinars, video presentations, live
presentations, nancial tools, nancial literacy pages, and interactive guides.
Access to One-On-One Financial Consultation: This was looked at as our second most
important parameter and was weighted at 30%. Each school’s nancial literacy website was
examined to determine how accessible it was for students to get one-on-one consultations from
a nancial expert. The amount of nancial experts that were available at a certain school and
the hours that they were available to give nancial consultation were taken into account.
Incentivizing Programs Available: This was our third most important parameter and was
weighted at 20%. Each school’s nancial literacy website was examined to determine the
amount
ABOUTofUS incentivizing programs that were readily available for a student. An incentivizing
program was something that encouraged the school’s students to practice nancial literacy.
