Los Angeles, CA – Rodney Walker, a prominent advocate for youth financial literacy, has released Scholarly Cents: A College Finance Expedition (Vol. 4), a comprehensive guide aimed at equipping students with the financial knowledge and tools they need to navigate the complexities of college expenses. With rising tuition fees and the financial burdens that come with higher education, Walker’s new release addresses a growing need for practical financial guidance tailored specifically for the college experience.

As college costs continue to climb, many students find themselves overwhelmed by financial decisions that can have long-lasting consequences.

The book breaks down key financial topics into simple, accessible strategies.

It also shares real stories of students who have successfully navigated these challenges, offering relatable examples and practical takeaways. These personal stories, alongside reflection exercises and practical tips, give students concrete tools to implement immediately, reinforcing the book’s focus on action over theory.

“Managing finances while in college can feel like an overwhelming task, especially when students are focused on their studies,” said Walker. “This book is designed to provide a clear, actionable plan that students can follow to stay financially on track, helping them make better decisions now that will benefit them long after graduation.”
