    (Uganda Christian University, 2026-04-14) Arthur Kugonza
    The study contains the background of the study, statement of the problem, purpose, specific objectives, among other contents in chapter 1. The study reviewed literature which is indicated in chapter 2 and examined the influence of financial literacy on entrepreneurial intentions among university students in Uganda, using Uganda Christian University as a case study. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design guided by research methodology in chapter 3 was used and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and simple regression analysis as explained. The findings indicated in chapter 4 showed that students possess moderate levels of financial literacy and that financial literacy has a significant positive influence on entrepreneurial intentions, explaining 34.6% of the variation. However, challenges such as limited income, inadequate awareness of investment options, fear of financial failure, and difficulty applying financial knowledge were found to constrain entrepreneurial engagement. The study, in chapter 5 concluded that improving financial literacy through practical training is essential for strengthening entrepreneurial intentions among university students.
