Financial Literacy

Money Management Support

Get confident in managing money through Dollars and Sense, Laurier’s program for financial wellness. Access resources, workshops and personalized support for financial planning. You can even attend workshops right at home in residence.

Financial Planning

Creating a financial plan or budget before you arrive at Laurier helps minimize stress so you can focus on adjusting to university life, your classwork and new experiences. The earlier you start your financial plan, the more time you will have to familiarize yourself with your financial resources and to determine if you need additional funding sources such as government aid and bursaries.

Keep in mind that the little expenses like takeout food and trips home add up over time! Be sure to consider your individual needs and circumstances as you build your plan.

Residence Programming

We offer in-residence programs designed to strengthen your financial knowledge and confidence. These programs encourage you to reflect on personal values and teach you how to budget.
