What is SparkPoint?
The SFSU SparkPoint Program works with students to meet basic needs, increase income, build credit, increase savings, and reduce debt. Financial coaches work one-on-one with students to recognize behavioral outcomes, set goals, brainstorm strategies, and set realistic action plans. They value strengths, build motivation, and provide monitoring and accountability. SparkPoint serves any student seeking to improve their financial situation.
