Financial Literacy

The Financial Literacy for College Success Conference and Internet Courses were made possible by a $238,000 federal College Access Challenge Grant for 2010-11 to conduct outreach and financial literacy education for college bound and new college students across Kansas.

File your taxes for free this year. A partnership between the United Way, the IRS, and WSU has resulted in a free self-help income tax preparation site, located on the WSU campus in 330 McKinley.
