In this study, we investigate educational institutions' role in financial literacy among college students. Data on financial attitudes, habits, and knowledge were collected by distributing questionnaires to a representative sample of students. The results indicate a considerable deficiency in applied comprehension and practical skills, despite a general awareness of financial principles. A holistic approach that incorporates practical skills, healthy financial attitudes, and theoretical concepts is needed to effectively incorporate financial literacy into curricula. While educational institutions have a significant role in promoting financial education, students still need preparation to handle financial challenges with competence and confidence.
