The financial planning space has long had a reputation as an industry with a predominantly male and white workforce — which can end up excluding several groups of consumers who crave financial assistance but are reluctant to work with professionals they can’t relate to.
In an effort to create a more diverse industry, LearnLux, an organization that partners with employers to offer financial well-being as an employee benefit, has launched a scholarship program to help underrepresented individuals earn their Certified Financial Planner certification. Winners will receive $3,000 to cover test preparation materials and the cost of sitting for the exam.
