Strategies for Improving Community College Student Financial Health: An Examination of Achieving the Dream's Financial Behavior Change Project on Six Campuses
Gewirtz, Susan; Thorton, LaShawdra
Achieving the Dream
Over a two-year period, six colleges involved in the Working Students Success Network (WSSN) initiative received financial support and technical assistance from ATD to identify key financial challenges their students face, develop specific strategies to address those challenges, and provide feedback on lessons learned from the work to be shared with other colleges. The project supplemented the work these and the other WSSN colleges were already engaged in by focusing on specific types of interventions that would not only provide services to students, but also effect positive changes in their financial behaviors.
