We are your insurance company.

Our mission is to build a secure future for our Members by providing superior products and benefits. We strive to continually grow and transform to keep pace with the evolving needs of our Members.

You are not a policy number.

Our policyholders are Members, and we’re committed to providing them with exceptional service that puts their needs first. We redirect our profits back to our Membership to maintain competitive rates and services.

We give back to the community.

We believe in vibrant and healthy communities. Teachers Life supports education workers and charities for children and youth. We’ve invested in several mental health initiatives, like our Press Start CoLab Program and our mental health and well-being resources.

We are here to stay.

We have been providing our Members peace of mind and exceptional service since 1939. We are a fraternal insurer with a mandate to build better insurance products and services for our community.

The 2023 Scholarship and Bursary Award Recipients

At Teachers Life, supporting our valued Members and their loved ones is one of our core objectives. Our annual Scholarship Awards Program is just one of the ways that we give back to our Members in a meaningful and long-lasting way. To date, we’ve invested over $600,000 in scholarships and bursaries for the families of our Teachers Life Members.

As an insurer dedicated to those who work in education, these awards are a flagship of our Fraternal Benefits Program. This year, we have the pleasure of recognizing 11 exceptional individuals with the Teachers Life Bursary, the J.F. Allen Scholarship, and the Hall & Hall Award. Recipients of these scholarships and bursaries are selected by random draw among all qualified applicants.

Bright Futures Ahead 

Despite differing aspirations and post-secondary programs, all 11 scholarship and award recipients share an incredible drive and passion for continuous learning, with a common goal to make a positive difference across Canada. Congratulations to the 2023 phenomenal scholarship and bursary award recipients!
