How we give back

If you are pursuing post-secondary education this Fall, you should take a look at the scholarships and bursaries available through Beaubear Credit Union, New Brunswick Credit Unions and Atlantic Credit Unions. You never know, you may find something that is relevant to you or your areas of interest. Don’t miss out, scholarships and bursaries have application deadlines coming up.

  • Beaubear Credit Union  annually offers two(2) bursaries valued at $1000 each through the Beaubear Credit Union Founders Bursary
  • Atlantic Credit Unions Bursary Program   Each year, Atlantic credit unions contribute $25,000 to fund bursaries at community colleges in Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island to ensure that students can access to quality education.
 
Building good financial skills can empower people in our communities to make the right financial decisions for themselves and their families. That’s why Beaubear Credit Union has joined other credit unions across the country to offer the Each One, Teach One Financial Literacy Program – a plain language approach to building basic financial knowledge.

How it works

Through the Each One, Teach One Program and with the help of community partners, credit union staff volunteer their time to deliver a series of free workshops – virtually or in-person – that cover basic financial topics ranging from an Introduction to Basic Budgeting, Building a Healthy Credit History to Home Readiness and more. Workshops are offered at different times throughout the year with the sole goal of helping participants build financial knowledge in an approachable, easy-to-understand way.

Online Modules

In addition to guided sessions, Each One Teach One also offers free, online financial literacy modules that you can explore when and where you want. These self-directed courses provide a high-level introduction to some of the most popular topics covered in Each One, Teach One workshops. The online courses are also great for learning on a busy schedule, with each module taking around 30 minutes to fully complete. While these online courses won’t cover everything included in a full Each One, Teach One session, they can help you get started in building your financial knowledge.
