Inceptia Financial Avenue

Galveston College has teamed up with Inceptia to give you a leg up on financial education via their online program, Financial Avenue. Inceptia, a division of the National Student Loan Program (NSLP), is a nonprofit organization. Its goal is to provide expertise in items like student loan repayment and default prevention. The online program Financial Avenue will provide you with smart resources to help demystify the world of personal finance.  Getting a handle on your money doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or restrictive. It’s all about empowering yourself with smart basics, and planning from there.

With Inceptia’s money mascot, the Knowl, as your trusty guide, you will have access to ten online courses that take  on big financial topics, including:

• College and Money
• Credit and Protecting Your Money
• Debt and Repayment
• Earning Money
• FAFSA
• Foundations of Money
• Future of Your Money
• Loan Guidance
• Psychology of Money
• Spending and Borrowing

We get it, sometimes financial education can be pretty boring and it doesn’t always make a lot of sense if you don’t  know how to put your knowledge into action. But, Financial Avenue keeps you on your toes with quizzes, videos, interactive tools, and action plans at the end of each course. With all these tools, we’ve made it pretty easy to know 
exactly what you can begin doing RIGHT NOW to put your financial knowledge to good use. After all, the Knowl says there’s no time like the present. 

The Knowl is here to help you get Knowl-edgeable about money
