Scholarships

Since 2019, the Alliance Française de Seattle offers a scholarship program for French learners. Scholarships can be valid for any group class—general, specialized, intensive, workshop, or summer camp. Every year, thanks to the support of our sponsors and private donors, AFSeattle continues to expand its support to families in need with a growing number of scholarships for youth and adults.

Youth Scholarships (4-17)

Types of scholarships

• Partial scholarships, up to 50% off the regular tuition (pre-sale discounts do not apply).
• Full scholarships may be awarded on a case-by-case basis.
• Scholarships are valid for the full academic year (enrollment in Fall, Winter and Spring) or for Summer Camps.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must be a Washington state resident.
• Must be planning to attend a youth course during the full academic year (Fall through Spring) or a Summer Camp.
