Many students drop out of university because they’re broke. The EmpoweringU, Financial Wellness Program has three goals: 1) Provide University of Manitoba Indigenous students with the tools and skills they need to make informed financial decisions; 2) Relieve stress caused by financial pressures; 3) Help students find the financial resources they need to stay in school. The program partners with awards officers to explain scholarships & bursaries and offer onsite application assistance. An Indigenous dietitian speaks about eating healthy on a budget, focusing on the traditional, cultural, and spiritual aspects of preparing a meal. There are budgeting & debt reduction workshops and sessions on the importance of filing taxes to access benefits. The EmpoweringU program has been generously funded by Hubert Kleysen, LL.D/14, Bernice Kleysen and Cambrian Credit Union.
