Peoples Security Bank & Trust Scholars Program

Financial competency is an essential life skill. At Peoples Security Bank & Trust, it is our firm belief that if we can better educate the students of today, then they will become the financially responsible citizens of tomorrow. PSBT recognizes these students are our future consumers & community leaders. The more we can do to help them grow & prosper, the more our country will benefit.

Personal finance is becoming a priority in more & more of our community schools. It is critical that students understand important aspects of personal finance in order to succeed & thrive in the working world.

The Peoples Security Bank & Trust Scholars Program is an initiative to bring critical financial literacy education to participating school districts in our local communities. Peoples Security Bank & Trust has partnered with EverFi, Inc., the nation’s leading education technology company, to bring this interactive, web-based financial management program to high school students at no cost to the schools or taxpayers.

Powered by EverFi technology, the web-based learning platform uses the latest in new media technologies – video, animations, 3-D gaming, avatars, and social networking – to bring complex financial concepts to life for today’s digital generation. This 10-unit course offers 6-8 hours of programming aimed at teaching, assessing and certifying students in over 600 topics in financial education including credit scores, insurance, credit cards, student loans, mortgages, taxes, stocks, savings, 401k’s and other critical concepts that map to national financial literacy standards. The platform tracks knowledge gained as well as students’ attitudes and behaviors on these important issues. Students who successfully complete the course receive certification in Financial Literacy, a valuable mark of distinction on college applications and resumes.

Our Peoples Security Financial Scholars program empowers students with the skills that will put them on a path to financial success. And through the hard work and dedication of teachers whose passion is to enrich the lives of their students, this program helps students gain the critical skills necessary for a sound financial future and to make them successful throughout their lives.

A recent graduate of the Peoples Security Bank & Trust Scholars Program commented “This program explained all the things I was dreading about adult life in a manner that was both engaging and informative. I feel much more prepared to tackle life’s financial obstacles after completing this course. I am extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to learn through this program because of how much I know it will help me in the near future.”

To date, we have reached thousands of students across our footprint with our Peoples Security Bank & Trust Scholars Program. We are very proud to have reached so many students with critical financial education. It’s a testament of our deep commitment to our local communities. Our goal is to provide as many students as possible with access to this financial literacy platform before they graduate.
