Did you know that the Bursaries for Postsecondary Studies in French as a Second Language (FSL) Program aims to encourage young Canadians whose first official spoken language is English to study in French? Its goal: To help students entering their first year of college or university to perfect their bilingualism while studying in their field of interest. It is not mandatory to study French per se, but to be registered in a program in which at least 50% of courses and related activities are offered in French. These non-renewable bursaries, each worth $3,000, are available in many colleges and universities across Canada.
