Scholarship for students

Eligibility Criteria for the Jacques Brion Scholarship

• Be a high school or college student whose academic or career goals require proficiency in the French language.
• Be a young professional seeking to enhance their resume with French language skills to improve employment or advancement opportunities.
• Be a passionate francophile who embraces the #livefrench #lovefrench #learnfrench lifestyle and has a clear, personal plan to improve their French and deepen their understanding of francophone culture.

Preference will be given to residents of the Miami Metro or Palm Beach area, as well as out-of-town students currently enrolled at a university in Florida.

The Alliance Française Miami Metro (AFMM) Scholarship Committee will consider financial need, academic merit, and the applicant’s career goals in its selection process.

Scholarship funds will cover all or part of tuition or project-related expenses. No direct cash awards will be given to recipients. Instead, AFMM will make payments directly to cover eligible costs such as registration fees, course enrollment, textbooks, or approved project expenses.
