Financial Cents
Welcome to Financial Cents! Through our peer educator group, course presentations, workshops and additional resources, we strive to give the NIU community, as well as local communities, a better understanding of important financial decisions that will impact their lives before college, during college and well beyond their college careers.
Workshop Series
To help us offer the best programs possible, we are asking students to take a few minutes to fill out our brief 5 minute survey.
