L'Alliance Française 2018 Annual Contest

Full scholarships for 14-16 years old students studying French in Bermuda. Win three weeks of French study and culture this summer!
 
Every February high school students are invited to apply for a scholarship to study French during the summer in an internationally acclaimed French school in Cannes on the French Riviera. The scholarship includes all travel costs, school fees, and room & board. The winners of the annual contest will be leaving Bermuda early July 2018 for three weeks.
 
Students travel from Bermuda to Nice, where they will be greeted by the representatives from the school, the Centre International d’Antibes, and their host families. The school is located in Cannes, a few kilometers from Nice. French lessons take place every morning, and in the afternoon, students are invited to cultural tours or activities at the school (additional fees may apply).

To apply, please write an essay of at least 350 words in French stating the following:

• your interest and previous experience in the French language and culture
• why you should be chosen to live in a French-only environment for one month
• how you would benefit from this experience in your future career.

Click here for the entry form, or get it and more details from any of the local schools. To be eligible, students must be studying French in Bermuda, be between the ages of 14-16 as of July 1, 2018, and have a valid passport.
 
The presence of the winners will be requested at the French Alliance Annual Dinner where they will be introduced to the French Community.

Testimonials

"Merci beaucoup à l'Alliance Française et la Fondation Christian Humann pour une expérience incroyable. Merci aussi à Madame Bazin et Alex pour un excellent séjour à Paris. Je suis très contente d'avoir eu l'opportunité d'améliorer ma compréhension de la langue Française en France, et j'ai pu participer à des activités très amusantes. J'ai aussi appris beaucoup sur le culture Française et j'ai eu l'opportunité de voir plusieurs régions différentes de la Côte d'Azur. Je suis très heureuse d'avoir rencontré Atiya, Gia et Erin parce que elles sont très sympa et on a eu beaucoup d'amusement ensemble. Merci encore pour une expérience que je n'oublierai jamais."
