Hello @s_paced

As far as I would love to help you with this issue but the free version of the theme doesn’t have option to change or remove Proudly powered by WordPress | Education Hub by WEN Themes from footer.

However there is pro version of the theme available which will let you to edit or remove Proudly powered by WordPress | Education Hub by WEN Themes from footer easily, further more there are lots of other awesome feature available in pro version of the theme which are not available for you in free version.

You can check here http://themepalace.com/downloads/education-hub-pro/

Hope this will make you clear.

Best Regards!!
