We want financial literacy to be a part of your life. The more you know, and the more tools you have at your disposal, the better prepared you will be for life at and beyond SUNY Old Westbury.
The FLOW Program
Old Westbury’s FLOW (Financial Literacy at Old Westbury) program tackles challenges in financial literacy education through use of multiple platforms from the availability of on-line tools, newsletters, workshops, and class interactions. The program began in 2014 with a goal to provide resources to give students an opportunity to graduate in 4-5 years and with the least amount of accumulated debt as possible. Since 2014, the program assisted over 11,000 students by completing over 34,000 financial literacy-based courses.

Financial Literacy Fair at Old Westbury – Spring 2024
In following up on the success of prior years’ Financial Literacy Fairs, this year’s Fair was held in the Student Union Multi-purpose Rooms. The Financial Literacy (FLOW) Committee began planning in early fall. The Fair included an Exhibition Hall and seven presentations throughout the day. Approximately 150 students, faculty, staff, prospective students, vendors, and visitors participated.
Attendees learned more about financial literacy from representatives of various financial institutions (banks, credit unions, insurance, financial planners, etc.) through seminars and panel discussions.
Some of the seminars and panel discussions included:
- Building Credit - Identity Theft - Budgeting
- Insurance - Financial Planning - Banking
The FLOW Committee wishes to thank all who supported the Financial Literacy Program at SUNY Old Westbury!
