Scholarship for Teachers Life Members
The J. F. Allen Scholarship and the Teachers Life Bursary awards are aimed at students who exemplify excellence, achievement and involvement in their school and community. These awards are open to the children and grandchildren Teachers Life Members.
While meeting the academic standard for each award and submitting a complete application gets you in the door, the Teachers Life connection to community is at the core of each award. Focus is on the candidate’s involvement in their school and community -- where they have demonstrated that “give back” attitude and excellence in initiative and leadership, which is at the heart of Teachers Life.
The J. F. Allen Scholarship is awarded to one female and one male student in their final year of high school and is valued at up to $12,000. Each recipient will receive a $3,000 scholarship each year, to a maximum of four years or upon completion of the recipient’s first degree.
Teachers Life Bursary is a one-time award of $1,000 available annually to one female and one male student in their final year of high school.
The deadline for applying for both awards isMarch 31, 2016.
Eligibility criteria can be found on the inside page of each application form.
To help get the word out to all Teachers Life Members interested in these award opportunities, we would appreciate that you share this information and direct any related inquiries to memberbenefits@teacherslife.com or by phone to 1 800 668 4229.

Experiencing EXAM STRESS????
Every student who aims to become a high-achiever will experience exam stress. It’s an unavoidable part of student life that can be a tough nut to crack. Remember, stress exists for a reason and you can choose to let it be your downfall or use it to drive you to improve your work. To combat exam stress, firstly you need to understand the reasons behind this heightened anxiety. Then you can establish methods to reduce the pressures you feel. Researchers have uncovered some common explanations for this:
- Low motivation levels
- Lack of preparation and planning
- High expectations from others
- Competition from peers
The difference between a student who allows stress to overwhelm them and someone who uses it to push them harder is what they do when they are facing that brick wall mid-study. Admirable students will pause, reflect and choose a path that will help them overcome the impasse, not just wait for the wave to engulf them.
