About this Award

This bursary was established by Denise Lavigne, a graduate of the uOttawa Faculty of Arts class of 1964, in memory of her mother, Adrienne Bourguignon-Lavigne. Adrienne Bourguignon-Lavigne taught many thousands of Ottawa students over 40 years, from 1935 to 1972. A 1934 graduate of the University of Ottawa École normale, she felt a lifelong admiration for Father René Lamoureux, professor and director of the school. This bursary is meant to facilitate young Franco-Ontarians’ access to the French-language Bachelor of Education offered at the University of Ottawa.
