Program for Financial Empowerment

The Program for Finacial Empowerment (PFE) is an effort to promote the knowledge of personal finance across the university and the community. The initiative is bolstered by faculty support, alumni engagement and student leadership involvement, and mentorship. The learning goal for the program is to empower UH students, students in middle and high schools, and the community with more knowledge about personal finance, especially as it relates to attending college.
