Teachers Life is pleased to announce the 2021 award recipients for the Teachers Life Scholarship and Bursary program. The 2021 program is made up of four awards: The J.F. Allen Scholarship Award, Teachers Life Bursary Award, Hall & Hall Education Award and Young Entrepreneur Award.
The J.F. Allen Scholarship was given to four students who met the application criteria of academic excellence and commitment to extracurricular activities. This year we implemented a new selection process for recipients of the scholarship and bursaries and drew winners at random from a pool of qualified candidates.

In addition to our scholarships, Teachers Life grants six Teachers Life Bursary Awards. Recipients are chosen through a random draw based on obtaining academic and extracurricular activity criteria. The bursaries were divided evenly between students heading to university and to college.
