Assistant Professor Mat Despard received a grant for his project, ''Employer-Based Financial Wellness Programs Project'' from the Kellogg Foundation via the Washington University in St. Louis. The project aims to assess financial security outcomes among low- and moderate-income workers who receive services such as financial coaching and short-term loans through their employers, and whether these outcomes vary based on the types of services received and levels of employee engagement in these services.
