Bright Futures Fund
The Manitoba government is investing $1 million in a new Bright
Futures fund that will support programs aimed at improving high
school graduation rates and increasing access to post-secondary
education for disadvantaged and low income students. The
Bright Futures fund will bring community-based organizations and
schools together around a common goal: to address many of the key
barriers to post-secondary education that are faced by under-represented
students. This joint initiative between the department of
Advanced Education and Literacy and the department of Education,
Citizenship and Youth is expected to support demonstration projects
within the current year.
For more information, see the news
release or
