Bursaries

TESL NB Professional Development Bursaries Terms and Conditions

TESL NB bursaries can be used toward professional learning opportunities that align with TESL Canada and TESL NB mandates and vision. The following terms and conditions apply:

  • Only TESL NB members in good standing are eligible to apply.
  • Applicants must indicate which conference they are planning/hoping to attend.
  • Members receiving the bursary must provide TESL NB colleagues with a synopsis of their PD experience in the form of a brief written “newsletter-type” submission that can be posted on the TESL NB website, and/or in the TESL NB newsletter. 
  • Bursary recipients will pay the conference registration fee, submit proof of registration/payment to the TESL NB treasurer, and be reimbursed by TESL NB.

TESL NB members can apply to be considered for a bursary by emailing the bursary application form below to the President at teslnewbrunswick@gmail.com.

Selections will be made by the executive and based on three basic criteria: 1. The applicant is a TESL NB member in good standing; 2. The applicant is able to attend the conference, virtually or in person; 3. The applicant agrees to the terms and conditions of the bursary. If there are several applicants for each bursary, the TESL NB executive may have to consider whether the applicants have already received a bursary from TESL NB. In the case that all criteria are met by all of the applicants, a random draw will take place.
