SRP Federal Credit Union Hosts Financial Education Event at USC Aiken

posted on

Aiken, SC – On April 2, SRP Federal Credit Union hosted Pace Your Finances, a financial education event for college students at the University of South Carolina Aiken.

 

Led by SRP’s Community Development Department, the event featured a Jeopardy!-style trivia game focused on credit. Students competed for prizes while learning about essential financial topics such as credit scores, loans, and more.

 

The event reflects SRP’s continued commitment to promoting financial literacy at the university level. In 2024, SRP and the USC Aiken School of Business Administration launched Pacer $mart, a financial education initiative designed to serve both college and high school students.

 

Developed to equip students with the tools they need for long-term financial success, the Pacer $mart program offers a comprehensive personal finance curriculum that encourages informed decision-making. In March, representatives from SRP and USC Aiken unveiled a co-branded classroom and hallway dedicated to the program.

 

Rooted in the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People,” SRP Federal Credit Union continues to invest in financial education across the communities it serves. In addition to Pacer $mart, SRP offers a variety of educational resources, including seminars, counseling, school visits, and more.
