ASL
Studies Trainee Bursary Fund Application
Alberta Cultural Society of the Deaf is accepting

Canada. To this end, we are offering bursaries to financially
assist Canadian and permanent residents aspiring to
become ASL instructors to help complete their education.

Cultural Society of the Deaf. The bursary is
$500.00 (Cdn funds) per successful
applicant.
