Bright Futures Fund
In 2010-11, the Manitoba government is investing $3 million in the Bright Futures Fund to support programs aimed at improving high school graduation rates and increasing access to post-secondary education for disadvantaged and low-income students. Since 2008, the Bright Futures Fund has assisted under-represented students across Manitoba to establish and achieve educational goals. This joint initiative between the departments of Advanced Education and Literacy and Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors (MB4Youth Division) is a component of ALL Aboard: Manitoba’s Poverty Reduction Strategy, and brings together community-based organizations and schools in providing a range of academic, social, and financial components which address many of the key barriers to post-secondary education for under-represented students.
