Helping you Prepare for Life
We want financial literacy to be a part of your Canisius experience. Your overall health is important to us, and we have focused our resources on providing support and education in many areas of personal health—including financial understanding— for all students.
Canisius University is proud to partner with Arbol to offer you access to a comprehensive and holistic financial wellness platform for use in taking control of your finances as a college student.
