Meritrust is proud to support Powercat Financial and help to grow the financial well-being of K-State students. We know being away from your student as they embark on life’s colligate journey can be tough. That’s why Meritrust is dedicated to helping students grow their money skills along their financial well-being journey. To help us best support your student on their journey, we’re proud to support Kansas State University’s peer-to-peer financial planning program, Powercat Financial.
Together, we’re introducing students to peer counselors known as Meritrust Credit Union Scholars, in order to offer your student counseling on budgeting, saving, credit, student loan repayment and transitioning to work. The Meritrust Financial Well-being team will contribute training for the program’s peer counselors, who are students in financial services-related fields of study.
The partnership aligns with Meritrust’s focus on helping our members and communities move toward financial health and well-being.
“Financial well-being is a vital component in our journey of achieving personal goals and our overall health and success,” says Meritrust President and CEO James Nastars. “The scholars and the students they work with will gain knowledge and confidence about financial literacy, helping to improve their lives, even beyond college.”
The partnership with Powercat Financial will serve both K-State students on the Manhattan campus and Global Campus online students, acting as the bridge for Meritrust to be an available resource in providing tailored learning experiences.
“Our partnership ensures the financial education and well-being needs of Kansas State students can continue to be addressed now and into the future,” said Jodi Kaus, director of Powercat Financial. “We have found a financial institution partner in Meritrust who shares our mission of increasing individuals’ financial well-being.”
With our Powercat Financial sponsorship and beyond, we remain committed to serving you, your family and the Manhattan community. Learn more about Meritrust and the services we offer.
