Customer comments
“We saw USA Funds Life Skills as another phase in teaching our students about managing their finances. This program goes beyond managing debt. It's about life lessons and how students can be successful in both their educational and social lives.”
Cheryl White, Associate Director of Student Financial Aid, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Newark, N.J.
“USA Funds Life Skills is such a wonderful name for the program because it truly teaches life skills. The information in the program can benefit all of us in our lives. For instance, many of us haven’t stopped to think about our wants versus our needs — we have a tendency to go through life and take things for granted. If we can save one student from default, then we’ve done our job.”
Ruth Pedrie, Financial Aid Officer, Colorado Technical University, Colorado Springs, Colo.
“We want our students to experience success. We know from working with students that their financial health is an important component in their college experience. Financial troubles can cause students to drop out of college, and that can affect their futures. The great thing about USA Funds Life Skills is that students are looking at their own lives, writing their own budgets, and examining different things they can do. It's personalized and relevant, and they can keep the book as a resource.”
Jan Daly, Assistant Dean of Students, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla.
