Financial well-being is a critical part of graduate student success, yet many students navigate financial decisions without structured support. The Graduate Center’s new Financial Wellness website was designed to help graduate students build confidence and clarity around money through beginner-friendly, values-based tools. If you’re not sure where to start, the Identify section is a great entry point, offering reflective resources to help you understand your money mindset, align financial decisions with personal values, and reduce financial stress. The hub also features CashCourse, a free interactive platform that helps students develop practical skills like budgeting, managing debt, and planning for financial milestones during and after graduate school.

Students who engage with financial wellness resources often report feeling more empowered and less overwhelmed when making financial decisions. Whether you’re navigating funding uncertainty, preparing for post-grad transitions, or simply trying to build better financial habits, starting with small, structured steps can make a meaningful difference.

This spring, the Graduate Center is partnering with Campus Health and the Take Charge America Institute to offer a series of workshops that build on these skills and support holistic well-being, Registration for the workshops is open now:
