TRiO workshop is Tuesday Creating a budget is an important first step in completing both long- and shortterm financial goals. Many individuals are unaware of how much they spend, or how their spending compares to their income. A simple budget can provide them with a better understanding of their personal financial situations. To help students understand the budget process, TRiO Student Support Services at A&M University-Texarkana will host a Financial Literacy: Grant Aid Budgeting Workshop Tuesday, Feb. 9, at noon in University Center 335. The workshop is free and is open to all students, faculty and staff.
