The theme of week three of Financial Literacy Month (FLM) – an annual initiative in November to strengthen financial literacy levels in Canada – is managing money for student life.
Tuition costs alone, without taking into account other costs associated with a post-secondary education, are on the rise. According to Statistics Canada, average tuition for full-time students in undergraduate programs for the current 2017-2018 school year reached more than $6,500, up a little more than 3 per cent from a year ago.
Saving for education, budgeting and planning can all be important steps in managing money for student life.
