January 20, 2015
Associate Professor and Institute for Social Research faculty associate Trina Shanks launched Lansing SAVE (Student Account Valuing Education), a new child savings account program for low-income Lansing families. The program will enable children to have economic flexibility later in life as they establish healthy financial habits during their youth. Lansing SAVE account holders will receive in-school financial education provided by the MSU Federal Credit Union and participate in activities that will help them work towards a college education. SAVE was featured in Michigan News and the Lansing State Journal.
