Throughout September, SDCCU will present special college preparation webinars as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

SAN DIEGO (September 2, 2025) – San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is committed to providing the necessary information needed to help families prepare and save for college, one of the biggest investments in life. In celebration of September’s National College Savings Month, SDCCU will present free weekly educational webinars on college savings and financing as part of Financial Wellness Wednesdays. The topics include How to Pay for College, Your Guide to 529 College Savings Plans and FAFSA: The Key to Unlocking Financial Aid.

“A solid financial plan for higher education can make all the difference when it’s time to pay for college,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “SDCCU is proud to provide these informative presentations to guide families through the steps needed to set future students on the path to success.”
According to The Education Data Initiative, the average cost of college has more than doubled in the 21st century with an annual growth rate of more than four percent. This is one of the many reasons why the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) created National College Savings Month to help students and families prepare and save for this expense.

The National College Savings Month webinars are part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays, an ongoing program hosted by SDCCU, to help provide the community access to free financial wellness information. Upcoming topics, dates and times can be found on sdccu.com/fww. For more college saving tips and resources, visit sdccu.com/knowledge.
