The next round of bursaries (for the TESL Ontario conference) will occur in Fall 2012. Check back then for more details.

 

Professional Development Bursary Fund

Recognizing that conference fees can be a financial burden for some of our members, TESL Toronto has established a Professional Development Bursary Fund. The bursary covers the cost of a 1-day pass to the TESL Toronto Spring Conference (in May) or TESL Ontario conference (in October).

Eligibility

If you are a TESL Toronto member in good standing, you are eligible to apply, with the exception of current members of the TESL Toronto Executive.

Selection Criteria

1. All eligible applicants who apply by the stated deadline will be considered.

2. If there are more applicants than bursaries available, priority will be given to those who:

• have contributed to TESL Toronto in the past (e.g. volunteering at conferences, contributing to the newsletter), and
• have not previously been awarded a Professional Development Bursary from TESL Toronto.

3. In the event that the number of remaining applicants exceeds the number of bursaries available, the recipients will be drawn by lottery.

How to Apply for a Bursary

The next bursary application period will be in fall 2012. Please check back then for more details.
