From 2012 through 2018, Kansas State University partnered with American Student Assistance (ASA) to provide their Saltmoney.org (“Salt”) online financial tool as a resource to K-State students and alumni. ASA retired the Salt platform on December 31, 2018, thus Saltmoney accounts are no longer available.
Powercat Financial continues to offer all of its other suite of financial services to current students as it has for the past 10 years! A free online financial tool called CashCourse.org is available as an alternative to Salt and is found within the Powercat Financial list of available course at http://www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial/programs/.
To encourage students to check out the CashCourse.org financial tool there is a new “Get Money Savvy With CashCourse” badge in K-State 360. With this new badge, students will obtain financial skills training on a variety of essential life skills via free resources offered in the online financial tool at CashCourse.org. Plus all students who complete this new badge by April 15, 2019, will be entered into a drawing for a $200 gift card. Students may learn more about our K-State 360 badges at http://www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial/360/.
All of the valuable financial resources offered by Powercat Financial are still on our website at www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial. Student loan servicers or lenders may also be contacted for any specific student loan support issues, along with K-State’s Office of Student Financial Assistance. Current K-State students on the Manhattan campus and Global Campus may continue to seek financial education from Powercat Financial and request free individual financial counseling sessions via k-state.edu/powercatfinancial. Campus student groups and classes may also continue to request financial workshops and presentations from Powercat Financial via the online form at www.k-state.edu/powercatfinancial/services/presentations.
Our Powercat Financial blog followers may also want to check out the blog by CashCourse creator NEFE (National Endowment for Financial Education) found at https://www.onyourown.org/. The blog has a fresh new look that aims to provide young adults with an engaging financial education experience.
Powercat Financial looks forwarding to helping all student achieve their financial goals in 2019! Happy New Year!
