Marie Robbins Memorial Bursary

This bursary is in honour of our friend, long-time TESL teacher and TESL Hamilton-Wentworth executive member, Marie Robbins. Everyone who knew Marie experienced what a kind and loving person she was.  Her selfless attitude was evident in the many volunteer roles she held in her community. We offer this bursary as a tribute to her contributions to the TESL community.
 
Marie was passionate about sharing her love of teaching newcomers with others and wanted others to have access to resources and knowledge.  For this reason, these bursaries will focus on professional development.

The bursary is open for application once a year and will be awarded to one TESL Ontario certified teacher practicing in the province of Ontario and one current TESL student in Ontario.
