Education Bursary

Our Local Collective Bargaining Agreement contains an education bursary to provide financial assistance toward the costs of tuition, courses, and learning programs. PSTA members may apply for up to $500 or 65% of the cost of each course successfully completed between Sept 1, 2018 to Aug 31, 2019. The amount of $45,000.00 plus the 2018-2019 carry-over of $11,407.49 is available for education bursaries. The total amount available will be divided by the total eligible claims within the priority areas to determine the amount of each bursary. Once the priority area applications have been awarded, remaining bursary funds will be distributed to eligible applicants in non-priority areas.
