Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) now provides students with Money Management Counseling, their second counseling session powered by Mapping Your Future. FAME's Money Management Counseling is an interactive tool that will teach students the importance of managing their money, an important step toward taking control of their life. FAME offers this session along with Additional Student Loan Debt Counseling, also powered by Mapping Your Future.

Through the success of Additional Student Loan Debt Counseling, FAME experienced the value of Counseling powered by Mapping Your Future for educating students. The interactive format allows students to better retain and understand the information presented.

"We know it's important to provide students with information before they make important financial decisions," said Cathy Mueller, executive director of Mapping Your Future. "The sessions, provided by FAME, provide students with information in an easy-to-understand format in a method that is effective for students."
