Students For Good Credit
Within First Miami, we have created a financial education program to educate our members toward financial understanding. We hope that our members will benefit from continued financial education by learning money management techniques that will better their future. We at First Miami created this program for the specific purpose of helping our members grow financially through education.
Students for Good Credit is a program sponsored by First Miami that provides financial education seminars to various organizations, primarily focusing on understanding, building and maintaining strong credit and the basics of everyday financial matters. These seminars are presented by students, for students, to enhance the knowledge of students entering into financial independence.
Take a look at some of the educational materials created by Students for Good Credit on our Financial Education 101 page!
