Scholarships

The Alliance Française Scholarship Program is committed to equity and access in language education. Our goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent motivated learners from pursuing their study of the French language and culture. Scholarships are available for both adults and children's group classes.

Thanks to the generosity of our community during our annual fundraiser Gala, we are pleased to offer scholarships for the 2025–2026 school year.
