Student loans, debt, and credit card bills are not top of mind for most college students, yet the financial decisions they make today will have long-term effects on their lives. Poor financial awareness jeopardizes college completion and the quality of learning outcomes, and alumni satisfaction. In this economy, students nationwide are experiencing greater financial stress and need for preventive financial education.

Buttonwood is a turnkey way to empower students with the life skills to successfully manage their finances and loan responsibilities while in school and beyond, and to minimize dropout and student loan defaults through education.
