Abstract	College is the first time students have the opportunity to make independent financial decisions and employ financial practices. Research suggests that students pick up financial knowledge, habits, and practices from family, friends, and their broader community and that these practices can have long-term implications. Migrant farmworking college students are a small subset of college students who come from highly mobile families and whose source of income is dependent on agricultural seasons. The migratory lifestyle influences how migrant farmworking families employ financial practices, which likely shapes how children in migrant farmworking families think about their finances and what kinds of financial practices they use. This study explores how the familial and cultural upbringing of migrant farmworking families influences the financial practices of migrant farmworking college students. Grounded in participatory action research methodology, I draw on funds of knowledge and consejos to elevate familial and cultural influences on the financial practices of 5 migrant farmworking college students. Ultimately, this study seeks to provide recommendations for advisors and other student-facing professionals to help meet the diverse needs of this distinct population of marginalized students.
