We’re looking for students dedicated to academic excellence, no matter what field of study they’re enrolled in. The chosen student will be awarded CA$5,000, which may be used towards the cost of their studies, helping them get a head start on their personal finance journey as young adults.
Paying for post-secondary education can be a daunting task. With tuition costs rising, textbook prices at an all-time high, and the cost of living going up every day, the financial burden for students is real. That’s why building personal finance habits is crucial to achieving financial independence and living life the way you want.
We truly believe that students are the future movers and shakers of Canada. We want to help the next generation of politicians, activists, engineers, teachers, nurses, business leaders, and everything in between, alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with pursuing your dreams.
