Judy Butler B.Ed. Entrance Scholarship

Award Description:

Judy, lovingly known as “Mrs. Butler,” was a lifelong educator and joyful person. As a beloved grade five teacher in Sydney, Nova Scotia, she touched generations of Argyle and Colby students, always remembering them “by their eyes.”

A scholarship in her name, lovingly established by her family and friends, is a fitting tribute to Judy’s legacy. They want to see our teachers of the future fill their classrooms with the dedication, generosity, and love that Judy embodied, because the world needs many more “Mrs. Butlers.”

• The student must be accepted into the 12-month in-person Bachelor of Education program at Cape Breton University.
• The student must submit a 500-word essay about a moment or experience in their life that demonstrates how they are “called” to be a teacher.
