Six educational programs will receive almost $400,000 in total funding, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) announced Thursday.
The Quebec-based AMF said that an assessment committee chose six projects, which will receive a total of $387,780 in support from the Education and Good Governance Fund (EGGF).
Since its inception in 2004, the EGGF has funded 156 projects with more than $25 million for projects focusing on investor protection and education, the promotion of good governance, and advancing knowledge. It also administers a program, which offers scholarships worth $10,000 at the doctoral level, and $5,000 at the master’s level, accompanied by a six-week paid internship at the AMF.
“The AMF is proud to support financial education projects initiated by organizations devoted to the financial well-being of the clientele they serve,” said AMF president and CEO, Louis Morisset. “These financial education projects contribute to the efforts of the AMF and several other partners.”
