SHF-Andégo Scholarship

In partnership with the AATF (American Association of Teachers of French) & SHF (Société Honoraire de Français), Andégo Internships Abroad seeks to recognize and reward those students committed to French language study through our immersive Gap Semester/Year internship. 

Andégo Internships Abroad offers recent high school graduates a unique opportunity to spend a semester or academic year living and interning in France as language assistants in local schools. Through meaningful classroom experiences, cultural immersion, and daily life in a French-speaking community, participants strengthen their language skills, develop independence and confidence, and gain valuable international experience before beginning college. Andégo's mission is to make immersive, life-changing experiences abroad accessible to more students while inspiring lifelong language learning and cross-cultural connections. Andégo Language Assistants receive full room and board, a monthly stipend, and the opportunity to earn university credits.
