Each year, the Alliance Française de Philadelphie awards two scholarships for francophone students and young professionals.
The Pierre C. Fraley scholarship’s beneficiary is Stephanie Lopez, who attended the 2025 Summer Immersion Program at the Université Laval in Quebec City, Canada.
"An opportunity like this for a college student can open up a wide range of possibilities because of the profound language and
culture immersion. Coming back to my fall semester of college, I feel more confident in my French skills and ready to continue learning
such a beautiful language."
Eliza Mast is the Marie Louise Vermeiren Jackson Scholarship recipient. She used the scholarship to attend a study abroad program in Strasbourg, France.
"My semester in France was an extremely formative period for me, and I am so thankful for the Marie Louise Vermeiren Jackson’s scholarship that made it possible. I feel so blessed and lucky to have been able to have had this rich and transformational experience in France."
