APLUS Participants Making History!
APLUS is a unique study, the first ever to examine how young people develop financial behaviors and how those behaviors relate to financial capability and well-being as adults – the success of the study relies upon a special group of participants - YOU!
Who are the Wave 1 APLUS participants?
You are the 2098 students who completed the Wave 1 survey on the financial attitudes and behaviors of college freshmen in spring 2008. Your information helped us to identify the kind of experiences that help young adults transition to college more smoothly.
Who are the Wave 2 APLUS Participants?
You are the 1511 participants from the original study who completed the Wave 2 survey. Your information will enable us to understand how financial attitudes and behaviors change during the college years - and how financially prepared you are for taking on adult financial roles and obligations.
Now the project gets really interesting as your lives take off in many different directions!
