We measure the relative need and demand for financial education programs among graduate stu- dents at a large university system. We find that self-assessed and measured financial literacy is sig- nificantly related to interest and demand for financial education. Individuals who self-report a high level of financial literacy but have low measured financial literacy are significantly less likely to be interested in financial education, while the opposite is true for financially literate individuals self- reporting a low level of financial literacy. Our study adds to research showing the importance of both believed and actual financial literacy measures and has implications for financial education programs.
