Internal Scholarships

The ACUFC French as a Second Language (FLS) Graduate Scholarship was established in 2025 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 is to increase bilingualism among young English-speaking Canadians.
