Money Matters Institute
The stress of paying for school is at the forefront of many students' minds. From applying for financial aid to budgeting, making smart financial choices is key to a student's success, both at the University of Houston and in the future. Helping students with their financial questions can seem daunting, but you don't need to be a financial expert to help students with these problems. You just need to know the basics.
That's why we're offering the Money Matters Institute (MMI), an intensive course for UH staff and faculty. The class contains weekly meetings — think of it as Financial Literacy 101, prepping you with the basic knowledge to give students the answers they need. Topics include:
- National Trends
- The UH Student
- Paying for College: Financial Aid Basics
- Counseling Students & Families
Applications for the MMI course are now closed.
CONGRATULATIONS, MONEY MENTORS!
Once you have completed the MMI coursework, you are considered a Money Mentor. Money Mentors use their knowledge of basic financial literacy to help answer students' financial questions.
