Abstract

To date, no empirical studies have investigated whether requiring student services program participation for a certain college student population actually results in increased student participation. As a result, this brief leverages institutional data (n=57) from the 2023 HEFWA Survey of Financial Wellness Programs in Higher Education to answer the following research question: If financial wellness programs in higher education require any student population to participate in financial wellness programming, is that requirement associated with increased participation in financial wellness programming?
