Scholarships
Making a dream come true for someone is very rewarding. Helping a young woman or man get back on their feet through counseling and training is one way to help in this troubled economy.
SBI has begun a wonderful new project allowing benefactors to donate to the education, training and coaching of individuals starting over - whether it is a divorce, job loss, empty nest syndrome.
Contact our office today if you have an individual you want to secure services for, or if you would like to create a scholarship in your name to help multiple people.
Tax-deductible donations can be made to Penn State Federal Credit Union - Community Scholarship in the form of cash, check, or credit card.
While SBI is a for-profit educational facility, we do accept public donations in the name of Scholarships for others. Scholarship benefactors are contacted with a written essay created by those interested in obtaining the funds. Decisions are made by the benefactor unless otherwise instructed.

Here are just a few of the featured trainings...
Change - It is an integral part of our world. Be trained how to adapt by making personal and professional modifications to keep you one step ahead of the game. Understand it, plan for it, accept it and learn to make adjustments on the fly. This program teaches you how to understand, plan, implement and consolidate change. Don’t be left behind because of fear.
Customer Service - The time, effort and money put into attracting new customers and retaining old customers could be destroyed seconds after interacting with a single ineffective customer service representative. Most of your customers interact with your customer service representatives more often than any one else in the company. They are often the “face” of your business. Make sure your "face" shines.
Decision Making - Discussed will be the emergence of meaning, defining the problem, priorities for action, getting into action, victory or defeat and paths toward a positive conclusion. It is an inevitable life activity that is vital to our survival. Wouldn’t you like to become a master of deciding your future?
Diversity - Don't let members of your team project a single incident onto a problem or judge a race by single person’s actions. This training increases awareness by reinforcing the power of diverse teams, dealing with people who are different from ourselves, while understanding and reaching out to others to increase trust and negotiate ideas.
