NCEOC FINANCIAL LITERACY

Enrolling in an educational program requires not only time, but also expense.  In addition to providing assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), NCEOC will also help you to become knowledgeable in personal financial decision making, which may include but is not limited to:

• Personal and family budgeting;  Understanding credit building principles to meet long-term and short-term goals (e.g., loan to debt ratio, credit scoring, negative impacts on credit scores);

• Cost planning for postsecondary or post-baccalaureate education (e.g., spending, saving, personal budgeting);

• College cost of attendance (e.g., public vs. private, tuition vs. fees, personal costs);

• Financial assistance (e.g., searches, application processes, and differences between private and government loans, assistanceships).
