French as a Second Language Scholarship [E6117]

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 February 1 by completing the online French as a Second Language Scholarship Application form. Selection will be based on the highest admission average. Recipients must be registered full-time to receive payment. Recipients of the French as a Second Language Scholarship must agree to complete a program survey as required by the funder. Students can only hold this scholarship once, if they received this scholarship during their undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph, they cannot receive it again.
