CU@School

Student Financial Literacy Program

CU@School features in-school credit union branches, financial literacy presentations and career day participation. Students gain valuable life skills on personal finance and the importance of saving while getting hands-on experience with banking. These are fundamental skills that students can carry with them throughout their lives.
