About the DSTFLA

The Deep South Texas Financial Literacy Alliance (DSTFLA) is a collaboration of educational agencies, financial institutions, community affiliations, businesses, and other stakeholders engaged in boosting financial literacy in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The objective of the DSTFLA is to make the Rio Grande Valley a more financially educated and empowered community. The Alliance is an initiative of Region One Education Service Center and was established in partnership with former congressman Ruben Hinojosa in 2012.

The Alliance also supports the underserved or marginalized populations of Deep South Texas by providing them with access to financial education and services. Budgeting, saving, and investing are just some of the topics covered by the alliance's many events, workshops, speakers, online courses, and learning activities.

The Deep South Texas Financial Literacy Alliance is committed to increasing financial literacy in the region in order to help individuals and families achieve economic stability and independence. The shared belief is that that improving financial literacy can have a positive impact on the overall economic health of the region.
