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 Financial Wellness Coaches, who are specially trained students, is dedicated to supporting our students' overall well-being. Managing money can be a crucial and sometimes stressful aspect of college life, and we are committed to offering personalized support through one-on-one coaching, workshops, special programs like Dollars for $cholars, and online tools.
In 2024, with increased funding support, our program reached 13,724 students, parents, and community members. We saw a 27.4% increase in appointments and a 54.9% increase in workshops hosted. Your generosity will help us continue to make a meaningful impact, expand our team, invest in personal finance learning tools, and organize events to enhance learning opportunities.
