TIAA Brings Financial Triage to West Virginia University Students

TIAA, a leading provider of financial services in the academic community, has partnered with the FoolProof Foundation to supply West Virginia University (WVU) students with just-in-time resources to help prevent college dropout.

FoolProof’s Financial Triage Survey helps identify students displaying indicators leading to potential dropout. FoolProof then provides those students turnkey resources specific to their areas of need.

"Even if students don’t show any red flags, they’re still led to resources that can help their everyday lives," said Amy Pridemore, Director, Center for Financial Literacy and Education at West Virginia University’s John Chambers College of Business and Education.

Developed by leading data experts and tested by thousands of students at Ohio State University, West Virginia University and Knox College, FoolProof’s Financial Triage Assessment meets students where they are.

"The Triage is a game changer," according to FoolProof’s Director of Education, Mike Sheffer. "Where else can students find resources tailored to them after just a few questions? Our years of partnership with WVU have paid off in big ways for Mountaineer students."
