SCFCU, St. Cloud State Partner for Personal Finance Sessions in April
April is National Financial Literacy Month, and St. Cloud Financial Credit Union is partnering with St. Cloud State’s Center for Economic Education to offer free personal finance sessions so you can take on your finances with confidence.
Every Tuesday in April, SCFCU and SCSU will host “Money Matters: Personal Finance 101” sessions, highlighting a different topic each week. The sessions will be held from 9-10 a.m. in Voyageurs South in the Atwood Memorial Center on the campus of SCSU.
Students, faculty and staff and community members are all welcome to join these sessions, which will feature complimentary breakfast while you learn. And attendees will be able to enter their name into a drawing for free prizes each week.
To attend, you are asked to RSVP at least one week prior to each session. You can RSVP online or by emailing Cindy Fitzthum at cjfitzthum@stcloudstate.edu.
Here’s the full lineup of sessions, which will be presented by a SCFCU employee each week:
