Today is the day! We’re kicking off the Financial Wellness Debt Management Scholarship for the 2025-2026 academic year!
You may have heard about this program in one of our previous communications or at a presentation but in case you’ve missed out this is one email you should pay attention to.
The Financial Wellness Debt Management Scholarship is offered to 2 students each term; one medical student and one dental student. Recipients will receive $1,000 to reduce their debt. To qualify a student must have accepted loans for the 2025-2026 academic year AND must complete the requirements below:
