A CASE FOR GRADUATE STUDENT FINANCIAL EDUCATION.

DEMOGRAPHIC surveys; GRADUATE students; FINANCIAL stress; HIGHER education; WELL-being

Graduate students represent a unique demographic within higher education, facing challenges that are distinct from those faced by traditional undergraduate students. Research investigating the pressures associated with graduate study reveal that stress takes a detrimental toll on the mental and emotional well-being of graduate students, leading to unnerving attrition rates within this population. Among the various stressors faced by graduate students, one particular source of concern is the stress associated with managing the financial aspect of their multidimensional lives. The current paper reviews existing literature on graduate student stress, financial stress, and financial education to make a case for developing financial education programs aimed specifically toward the needs of graduate students in higher education.
