About

Chris “Mr. C” Corinthian has worked for over 18 years in higher education in the areas of financial aid and financial literacy. After working with thousands of students, he realized that there were certain repeatable steps that students took to receive multiple scholarships and graduate debt-free. Unfortunately, there were also students who did not know this information and dropped out of school because they didn't have enough resources to complete college.

The United States has over $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. Chris is on a mission to stop that number from rising by showing students the blueprint to not only graduate debt-free, but also how they can have money in the bank when they walk across stage at graduation. To date, he has helped students receive over $1 million in scholarship award offers.

Through teaching the principles of personal finance, he walks high school seniors, current college students, and also Millennials through a three-step framework on how to “find the money, budget the money, and grow the money” to pay for school. His book takes you on the journey of learning the foundational principles on money, and how it relates to you as a prospective or current college student. 

  Corinthian founded ‘FinLit University’ and ‘Debt-Free Degree Academy’ to educate people on financial principles. He has worked with organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Habitat for Humanity, Prudential Emerging Visionaries, and his message has reached over 1 million people through various channels. He is also a cohost on WABE’s new docu-reality series My Money Mentors, designed to make financial literacy enjoyable and empowering for Millennials and Gen-Z. Corinthian's mission is to help everyone achieve financial literacy. Follow Corinthian on Instagram and other social media platforms @thefinlitguy.
