Red to Black offers financial eduction for Tech students

Red to Black® Peer Financial Coaching, located in Room 215 of Drane Hall, is a student program that answers students’ money questions.

Comprised of undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students majoring in personal financial planning, we provide financial education and awareness to students through individual coaching sessions, presentations, outreach booths and resource referrals.

Our goal is to help get students from out of the red and into the black in their personal finances.

If students have questions about how much money they will need each month, about credit scores and reports, how student loans work or elements pertaining to their first day of work, we can help.

Our coaching sessions are free and can either be face-toface or online.

We empower students so they can achieve their financial goals. Instructors interested in scheduling a presentation for a class should email us at redtoblack@ttu.edu.

Students, if you are interested in setting up an appointment with a peer financial coach, visit our website at www.r2b.ttu.edu.
