Considering the growing financial commitment of the population, there is a need for support, especially for groups with greater difficulties. In order to recognize these groups for targeting the initiatives, it is convenient to investigate the intervening factors in the levels of financial literacy, a proposal applied in this research in the university context. For this, a quantitative, hypothetical-deductive and descriptive-explanatory survey was carried out, statistically analyzing the financial performance of students of Applied Social Studies. Specifically regarding the profile, the sample was characterized by the presence of young people, single and without dependents, with restricted income and low family education, who worked and lived in the region, with a tendency to neuroticism, amiability and openness to experience in behavioral terms. In turn, in the case of performance, an intermediate level of financial literacy was reached, due to the limited knowledge of the undergraduates, in addition to the interference of personal and behavioral factors, with recognized difficulties of groups with dependents, originating from other states, with low education, who had limitations regarding conscientiousness, openness to experience and contact with financial content. Based on these evidences, it is possible to have an adequate targeting of proposals aimed at financial inclusion. This is the main recommendation for future approaches, in addition to evaluating existing projects to verify their suitability and exploring other contexts. With this, it is expected to ensure an advance in the debate and containment of the financial commitment that occurred.
