Student Financial Wellness Survey

The Student Financial Wellness Survey (SFWS) seeks to document the financial well-being and student success outcomes of post-secondary students across the nation. This self-reported, online survey of students is 100% free for institutions to use. By providing a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between student success and financial strain, the SFWS has the potential to:

• Inform college success and financial support programming at institutions.
• Provide institutional reports on the financial wellness of the student body and key campus climate metrics.
• Use institutional data to provide context to student responses and inform campus policy.
• Create a nationally-recognized data set around student finances that aligns with the needs of post-secondary institutions, state and federal governments, as well as nonprofit entities.

What will your institution receive?

• An institutional report of findings from the SFWS, including student perceptions of their institution and analysis of results by student characteristics and key institutional data points.
• An aggregate report of findings from the SFWS allowing institutions to compare to the broader data set.
• Consultation on interpretation of survey findings and access to best practices related to institutional success.
