Our team has a specialized goal—we’re here to help current MIT students plan for their financial future.

What does planning for your financial future mean exactly? Our Financial Education counselors can help with a variety of topics and are always happy to meet!

we can help you:

• Set financial goals like saving for a new car, or getting ready to move off campus
• Balance wants vs. needs
• Develop a healthy relationship with money
• Plan for far off goals like retirement or investing

we can’t help with:

• Tax advice and filing taxes—but we do have some resources to get you started
• Specific investing advice
• Loans—please see the loan section of our website
• Issues with your bill
• Questions about your financial aid offer
