AATF Francophonia Nice Scholarship

Francophonia, an institution in Nice, France, which provides teacher formations,  has generously offered the AATF 15 scholarships to their Universités d'été summer programs for 2026. AATF members who have paid their dues for 2026 are eligible to apply.  These scholarships are available to college/university students, current French teachers, and retired French teachers. 

An awarded scholarship covers tuition for the Francophonia program.  Applicants may also apply for up to $1000 in additional funds to help offset travel and housing costs. AATF Executive Council, SHF Council, and those receiving an honorarium from the AATF or NFC are not eligible to request the $1000 travel support funds.

Francophonia is a language school that brings together French speakers from around the world. You can learn more about them and the course modules HERE.
