Welcome to the Center for Financial Wellness!
We are a peer-to-peer financial wellness program housed in the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office at UC Berkeley. Our team of students, who we call Financial Wellness Coach, are specially trained to help.
Financial health is a crucial aspect of a student’s overall wellness. For many college students, managing money can be an extremely important and sometimes stressful topic. We understand the complexities of our students’ lives, and we provide one-on-one coaching, workshops, and online tools tailored to students’ personal needs.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to be an accessible and inclusive resource that empowers students to make informed financial decisions and achieve long-term financial security and prosperity.
Our vision is to foster a campus culture of healthy financial behaviors and conversations, promoting financial responsibility and wellness, where students, staff, and faculty are empowered to take control of their finances and make well-informed choices.
