About Wi$eUp

About the program

Wi$eUp is a financial education program designed for Generation X and Y Women. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau in support of the Department of Labor's Strengthening the Family Initiative. The Wi$eUp curriculum was developed by Texas AgriLife Extension Service under contract with the Women's Bureau. The original Wi$eUp website was developed by The University of Texas - Dallas Women's Center under contract with the Women's Bureau and is currently managed by Texas AgriLife Extension Service.

Wi$eUp is offered online , as well as in classroom settings in educational institutions and other organizations in seven of the Women's Bureau regions (regions I, II, III, IV, VI, VII, VIII, X).
