Top tips on managing your money during your studies
Sharing our lived experience on making the most of your funding.
The Money Mentors are current and recently graduated students at King’s College London who have a passion for helping their peers by ensuring they are as money-savvy as possible.
They are here to make sure that you make the most of your money, whatever your budget. The Money Mentors can offer guidance on how to make a budget, where to get the best discounts and deals in London, how to save money for the short and long term, and where to get help and advice when needed.
Money Mentors engage with current and prospective students throughout the year by supporting Open Days, Welcome Events and leading on their own money-themed campaigns to ensure that students are informed, empowered and aware of key student issues that may impact their financial position.
The Student Money Mentors project is student led, with guidance from the Money & Housing Advisors. The campaigns, self-help articles, blogs and Instagram content is all created by students, for students.
Applications are now open to join our Student Money Mentor cohort!
Money Mentors are trained and paid members of student staff within the Money & Housing Advice Service (MHAS), who empower students to be more in control of their finances, share handy tips to maximise student income, and develop key skills in leadership, communication and teamwork while becoming more financially savvy themselves.
The job role is fully flexible, so that Money Mentors can fit their hours around their studies, although there is a requirement to complete 1 shift (3 hours) during each Welcome to King’s week and MHAS campaign week as well as attending all preparatory meetings for these events.
