Meritrust Credit Union has pledged $324,000 to help Wichita State University launch a career-development program for students in the W. Frank Barton School of Business and enhance services provided by the WSU Office for Student Money Management.

The gift, to be made over three years, commits $80,000 a year for the Professional Edge program in the Barton School and $28,000 a year for Student Money Management. The contribution will count toward the WSU Foundation's Shock the World campaign, which seeks to raise $250 million in private funds for Wichita State by 2020.
