Financial Freedom Week 2022!
April is Financial Literacy Month
Connect with ACC staff and representatives from local credit unions to get answers to some of your most secret questions about money.
- Going to college sure has cost me some money, how can I make it less hard?
- I need a checking account, right? How do I get one?
- What is my credit score and does avoiding thinking about it make it go away?
- I borrowed some student loans and I hear that I may need to probably pay them back, what does that mean?
- Is retirement actually a myth?
Come learn answers to these questions and more! Attendance at any of these events gives students a chance to be randomly selected to receive a $1000 scholarship and a $500 scholarship for the 2022-2023 school year among other fun prizes. Gifts and prizes will be available throughout the week!
Start working toward your financial freedom!
