Be Texan Smart
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “BE TEXAN SMART”?
Being financially smart means being in control of matters related to your personal finances. Financial literacy and wellness are traits we all should aspire to have.
The “Be Texan Smart” program is composed of personalized financial coaching available for Tarleton State University students. They have the opportunity to walk into the Texan Smart Financial Center and request or schedule one-on-one financial coaching. Our purpose is to empower students so that they can achieve their financial goals, as we believe that no one understands the needs and concerns of students better than fellow students.
WHAT CAN A PEER FINANCIAL COACH DO FOR YOU?
Texan Smart has a staff of trained peer financial coaches that provide FREE financial counseling and guidance for current Tarleton State students on a variety of topics. During an individual appointment, the student and peer financial coach will work together to build a financial plan tailored to the student’s specific needs.
Some examples of those needs may be as follows:
- Creating a personal college financial plan
- Budgeting and saving
- Credit use and debt management
- Student loan planning and repayment
- Transitioning to work after college
