Funding for Ontario FSL Teachers
A limited number of bursaries may be available for Ontario FSL teachers.
The Ontario Ministry of Education may provide funding support to Western University to award bursaries to French as a Second Language (FSL) teachers who wish to participate in the French Teachers’ Program.
The funding covers most of the program costs:
- Course tuition
- Accommodation and meals
- Sociocultural activities
Travel costs, personal spending, and optional excursions are not covered by the bursary.
Am I Eligible?
Bursaries are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants who meet both criteria below.
- Teacher of French as a Second Language (Core, Extended, or Immersion), and
- Employed by a publicly-funded English-language School Board in Ontario.
We also accept participants who do not meet the elibility criteria. Full payment will be required to participate in the program.
