BC teachers may apply for a bursary for the full tuition amount of our French Summer Institutes (July 4-21, 2016). Funding is provided by the Government of Canada. Bursaries for BC teachers are administered directly by UBC Continuing Studies for the French Education Branch of the BC Ministry of Education.
Eligibility
To be eligible, applicants must have a valid BC Teaching Certificate or Letter of Permission to teach from the Teacher Regulation Branch. Non-certified teachers from independent schools classified under Group 3 may provide a letter from the school administration confirming their employment instead. Current employment with a BC school district is NOT required.
If funds are remaining after June 24, bursaries will be offered to employees of BC school districts who are not certified teachers, but who have regular contact with students in French programs.
Application Process
Step 1: Pay the $300 administration fee. This administration fee is only refundable if the bursary application is denied or upon completion of the French Summer Institute. Please make note of the invoice number for your application.
Step 2: Complete and submit the bursary application form.
Step 3: Continuing Studies will send an acceptance or rejection email. You will be considered registered in the program once you have received the acceptance email.
Step 4: Upon completion of the French Summer Institute, if you have fulfilled the attendance requirements, you will receive a full refund of your $300 administration fee within one month of the program’s end.
Current employment with a BC school district is NOT required. If funds are remaining after June 24, bursaries will be offered to employees of BC school districts who are not certified teachers, but who have regular contact with students in French programs.
