How the JL Educational Bursaries Work
Educational bursaries offered by the Jane LeBlanc Legacy Fund are intended to support defined learning, training, and skill-development activities in the arts.
To ensure funds are used for their intended educational purpose and to meet accountability standards, bursary funding is typically administered through direct payment to third-party educators or service providers, or by reimbursement of approved educational expenses upon submission of receipts.
A detailed applicant guide is available upon request.
