Abstract
In a time when personal debt continues to grow globally and outstanding student debt has surpassed the $1 trillion mark, many young adults remain unprepared for critical financial decisions that affect their lives (Akers, Chingos, & Henriques, 2015; Houle, 2013; Mandell, 2008). One way to address this issue is offering financial education programs in schools with the help of community-partners. Through these partnership financial programs, educators can prepare students for financial uncertainties as they transition into adulthood. However, it is not known how students are using the knowledge learned to support their financial decisions and financial self-efficacy after graduating high school. In this case study, the researcher sought to explore the experiences of students in the emerging adulthood stage who graduated between 2005 and 2010, as well as the financial educators' perspectives on fostering financial literacy and financial efficacy in their students.
