Bursaries

The Progressive Credit Union Limited Bursary program recognizes the contribution of our community builders of tomorrow. The growth of Progressive Credit Union Limited exemplifies the achievements of people working together in their own communities. We hope to encourage those qualities of good citizenship and co-operation through our bursary program.

Each year, we offer 8 bursaries:

The E. Carl Jamieson Bursary - Mr. Jamieson was a manager of the former Capital Credit Union for 44 years.  This $1,000 bursary is offered in honour of his commitment and long standing service.

The Ralph V. Burtt Bursary - In honour of Mr. Burtt who was a witness to the original charter of the former Capital Credit Union and has also been a member/director for more than 60 years.  This is a $1,000 bursary.
