The Alliance Française was created in Paris in 1883 by a group of eminent men, including the scientist Louis Pasteur, the writer Jules Verne, the diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps and the publisher Armand Colin. Headquartered in Paris, the Alliance had 850 centers in 137 countries on every inhabited continent in 2014.

Each year, the Alliance Française de Philadelphie awards two scholarships for francophone students and young professionals.
The Pierre C. Fraley scholarship’s beneficiary is Jennifer Graham Hougah, who attended the Middlebury College Summer Immersion Program in Vermont.
"I’m so grateful for the experience I had at Middlebury Language Schools this Summer 2024. At the end of the summer, I left with
friends, which I still keep in contact with."
Riley Green is the Marie Louise Vermeiren Jackson Scholarship recipient. She used the scholarship to attend a study abroad program in Nantes, France.
"Thanks to my study abroad, I was witness to the importance of understanding each culture’s unique needs. Je voudrais aussi remercier l’Alliance Française pour le soutien qu’ils offrent à la communauté, permettant à des générations d’approfondir leurs expériences dans le monde francophone, à l'échelle locale et internationale."
