Manage Your Money
You need to manage your money to make sure the funds you have available will last through the school year.
Prepare a budget and a spending plan.
Your budget will identify the amount of money you have available each month and your spending plan will help you keep track of your expenses each month. This way you can make sure you don’t overspend so your funds last through the school year.
