The Bursaries for Postsecondary Studies in French as a Second Language Program (FSL) was established to encourage English-speaking students to pursue their postsecondary studies in their second official language, in this case French, to help them in their efforts to learn, use and improve their French-language skills, and to expand their understanding of Francophone culture. The aim of this Program is to contribute to the increase of bilingualism among young English-speaking Canadians. Apply by April 15 by completing the online French as a Second Language Scholarship Application form and the online Entrance Financial Need Assessment Form (E.N.A.F.) if applicable. Selection will be based on the highest admission average. Recipients of the French as a Second Language Scholarship must agree to complete a program survey as required by the funder. Recipients must be registered full-time to receive payments.
