信贷人类 offers free financial health seminars to SAC students.
Monthly seminars offer training in budgeting, saving, and other topics.

SAC’s 学生维权中心 has teamed up with 信贷人类 to provide free financial health seminars to students on campus.

信贷人类, a credit union serving the 圣安东尼奥 area, hosts a series of seminars teaching the basics of financial health to students. Topics range from an introduction to financial health (offered quarterly), 到预算编制(每月提供), 还有其他科目, including saving and understanding credit.

The workshops are open to all students who want to learn more about taking control of their financial health. It’s especially helpful for those receiving financial aid for the first time, 帕梅拉·法瑞斯说, Senior Coordinator of Student Success in the 学生维权中心.

“This helps them manage their money and helps them know what to do when they get their aid,”她说。. “Some students don’t even have bank accounts, which you need when you receive financial aid.”

除了 to lessons on personal finance, the program offers other benefits for students. Those who attend at least five of the seminars are entered into a drawing for a scholarship. 信贷人类 offers food and a chance to win gift cards at each free seminar. 除了, 信贷人类 will fund the initial deposits of SAC students and employees wishing to open an account at the credit union.

Seminars are currently being planned for the fall semester. Once the schedule is finalized, dates and registration information will be available on the 学生维权中心 网页.

“We’re hoping that they’ll be on campus more just helping students with financial information and to set up bank accounts if needed,法瑞斯说.

The series of SAC campus workshops began in March and have met with great success, prompting the credit union to work with 阿拉莫大学 to bring the program to other campuses in the district.

信贷人类 shares its financial health curriculum throughout the community, 为雇主举办研讨会, 教会和其他组织.

The program is designed to help reduce financial stress and help individuals build financial slack, w在这里 they understand how to plan and save, meet their financial responsibilities and start planning for longer-term financial goals, 比如买房子.

“We saw that we could contribute to improving financial health in our community by building this curriculum to increase financial health awareness,胡安·安东尼奥·鲁伊斯说, business development account executive with 信贷人类. “We provide information that will help individuals make little steps in behavioral changes.”

信贷人类 is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative headquartered in 圣安东尼奥 with more than 235,000 members across the United States.
