Financial Literacy is Vital for Student-Athletes
Financial Wellness involves a sense of knowledge about how to manage personal finances.
Gonzaga University is dedicated to supporting student-athletes in every aspect of their lives. Athletes receive essential financial education, including workshops on budgeting, saving, and investing.
