Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions

The Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) brings together representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) to think critically about current institutional practices and how these practices relate to broader institutional goals; specifically, financial literacy and student retention. Participants include a range of senior-level leaders such as college and university presidents, chief student affairs personnel, and financial aid representatives. The symposium works to equip institutions to better meet both student and institutional financial needs with careful consideration given to issues of accessibility, affordability, retention, and financial aid. The symposium is funded by USA Funds®, the nation’s largest guarantor of student loans.

The 2011 Symposium on Financial Literacy and College Success at Minority-Serving Institutions: Institutionalizing Approaches to Student Success will be held Feb. 22-25 at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center in Dallas, Texas.
