Center for Financial Wellness

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.

We are no longer accepting appointments this semester. Service will resume in the Spring!
