چکیده (انگلیسی):

This paper presents a peer-based financial planning and education program as a strategy to
address the lack of financial literacy among college students and provide an experiential learning
opportunity for students majoring in financial planning or other financial services-related
disciplines. Benefits of such programs to campus communities are addressed by illustrating the
current trends regarding student debt and financial literacy. The paper provides a specific
description of a successful peer-to-peer financial planning and education program and
encourages its replication at other colleges and universities. Through the review of this program,
other schools may emulate effective strategies to assist in the implementation of this program as a
pedagogical tool to improve students’ educational experience.
