About Nevada Money Mentors

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”
– Benjamin Franklin

We want all students to feel solid about their financial choices. In 2016, we started Nevada Money Mentors with one goal: Empower you with financial knowledge so you make informed, confident decisions about money both now and after college.

We collaborate with numerous departments and host events around campus to personally connect with you. From hosting workshops on all kinds of topics to setting up tabling events around campus, you'll find us working to help students build the best money habits. With a hands-on approach and an emphasis on accessibility, our goal is to empower you and give you confidence in your finances. We help you get on track financially so you can worry less about money and focus more on your academics and overall college experience.

Mission

Our mission is to empower students with confidence in financial literacy and to leave a positive financial legacy that extends beyond their family tree.

Vision

Our vision is to become a leader in tackling the epidemic of financial illiteracy beyond our campus by providing data-driven, innovative, holistic, and timely financial wellness education and programming.
