Presentations

We come in person, or send a short video, to cover who we are, what we do, and how we help. For a faculty-specific club, we tailor every example to your program. Your members walk away knowing exactly which grants, scholarships, and bursaries they qualify for, often thousands in funding they never knew existed.

Grants, scholarships & bursaries The money they should know about and exactly how to get it
Faculty-specific orientation Tailored to what each faculty's students should know

Tabling

We set up booths in and around your event, and hand out piles of our in-house fidget toys, plus stickers, pins, and other merch students actually keep. As students stop by, we chat about hi finance and how we help them find funding.

Guest speakers / CWIL

We'll join your class, workshop, or event to share financial advice, career tips, and what we have learned building a startup ourselves. Students get honest guidance from people who have recently been in their shoes.

Events

We team up on career fairs, case competitions, speaker series, and mock interviews, and bring a couple of tabling booths along. It works best for 50 to 250 students with around two months of notice so we can help promote it.

Speaker nights Bringing in voices worth hearing
Podcasts Conversations on money, careers, and student life
Case competitions Sponsoring and supporting student-led case challenges

Social media

We collaborate on social media, cross-posting content we make (or you make) to promote each other and spread the word. Your members get useful posts on grants and student money, and your channels get content people actually want to share.
