New Publication Helps Adults Find Success In College

Abstract:

Through a collaborative effort between the National College Transition Network and the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) a new publication has been made available to address the financial concerns of nontraditional, adult students who are considering a postsecondary education. “Mapping Your Financial Journey: Helping Adults Plan for College” is a free 56-page booklet that contains financial planning worksheets, information about money pitfalls, financial aid, and tips for a successful college experience.

Adults list financial concerns as their greatest barrier to college. Mapping Your Financial Journey was created to address those financial concerns by explaining – in plain language- some of the basic financial ideas and skills adult learners need to make it through college.
