Bursary funding is available from the French Language Services Branch of the Ministry of Learning of Alberta.

The cost of the Institute is $2000 and covers application, tuition, some activities, accommodation and some meals. Teachers should plan to spend another $300 towards their meals and some excursions outside Quebec City.

Please note the $300 application fee is non-refundable once you have been accepted into the program.

Bursaries are taxable revenues (T4A) but tuition is income tax deductible and teachers will receive an additional deduction (T2202A) for being full-time students during the three weeks of the program.

Alberta teachers can register for the Institut de Français, UBC à Québec by completing the form: Registration for Alberta teachers.
