PIERRE C. FRALEY SCHOLARSHIP 

The purpose of the Pierre C. Fraley Scholarship is to enable a third or fourth year college or university student of French or a newly graduated French teacher to attend an accredited summer program of French study in order to obtain a level of proficiency in the spoken language that is not attainable in normal classroom work. 

The Alliance Française scholarship committee will weigh need, merit, and the quality of the applicant’s career plans when awarding the scholarship, which consists of a monetary award of $2,500 paid to the institution offering the program.
