Family Financial Wellness Fair Planned For CSUSB Palm Desert Campus

PALM DESERT, CA — A Family Financial Wellness Fair will be held at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert Campus later this month featuring food, opportunity drawings, workshops and other resources.

The CSUSB Office of Pre-College Programs will host the event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 16 on the campus at 37500 Cook St., according to campus spokesman Mike Singer.

"The free event is designed to empower families with essential tools and information to enhance their financial well-being and will feature assistance with financial aid applications, special guests, activities for kids, opportunity drawings and a live broadcast by La Poderosa 96.7 FM," Singer wrote in a statement.

Food will be provided to the first 500 attendees, who will then have opportunities to participate in hourly opportunity drawings, a resource fair, and in financial wellness workshops on topics including CSUSB admissions information, financial aid applications and financial literacy, according to Singer.

Additionally, students who attend the financial aid workshops will have an opportunity to win one of four $500 scholarships.
