We are a peer-to-peer financial wellness program housed in the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office at UC Berkeley. We offer workshops and one-on-one appointments to help students manage their personal finances in college and beyond. Although we are based in the Financial Aid and Scholarships office, we do not provide financial aid counseling. For financial aid questions, please visit Cal Student Central in 120 Sproul Hall or create a case online at: studentcentral.berkeley.edu

Trying to meal prep and save money this semester? 🍱💸
We went around campus to find some of the microwaves you can use to heat up your food: perfect for budget-friendly lunches and quick study breaks. 🙌

✨ Meal prep = financial wellness win! ✨

📍 These are just a few spots, there are more to explore across campus! (part 2?)
🗓️ Open whenever the buildings are open

Make the most of campus resources and keep your food budget happy! 💛💙
