Powercat Financial began in 2009 and is a financial education center where students are trained to assist fellow students with their money questions and provide financial education workshops and events across campus. We help students create personal spending plans or budgets to help them stay on track and to guide them in their financial decisions from moving into independent living, studying abroad or saving for their future. Services also help students evaluate their student loans and plan for their future by understanding their student loan repayment options and possible loan forgiveness opportunities in conjunction with their future income potential. View our helpful financial worksheets and resources at www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial/planning.
We recommend students meet early their first year with Powercat Financial to develop their own personal college financial plan and then review it each semester with their peer financial counselor. The earlier students meet with us the more successful their financial futures can become. We’re eager to assist your student!
Students can request an appointment for a free financial session by visiting http://www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial/services/. Our office is conveniently located on the third floor of the student Union in room 302. Students and parents can email questions to us at powercatfinancial@k-state.edu or give us a call at (785) 532-2889 between 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Free professional financial advice on a variety of important college financial topics is a rare commodity and can benefit any student from beginner to those more experienced with personal financial management
