Scholarships
Students who have successfully completed one semester of French while enrolled in a full academic program at Langara may apply for these scholarships in September and January. Successful candidates must have a good academic standing, with a GPA of at least 3.5.
Application forms are available from any French instructor. The instructors can also give you more information about the awards.
The Jean L'Abbé Memorial Scholarship
There is one annual award to honour the memory of Jean L'Abbé, a former instructor of French at Langara. Applicants should have completed 2 French courses with a general GPA of 3.5 or more. The amount of the award varies with interest rates.
The Gertrude Langridge Scholarship(s)
These scholarships, which honour the memory of Gertrude Langridge, a former French instructor at Langara, are available in both Fall and Spring semesters. The amount of each award varies with interest rates.
Bursary
Six-week immersion courses in French are offered between May and August at many centres across Canada. The federal government bursary covers tuition, room and board in either student residences or private homes. We usually receive a few application brochures in January. However, full information is now online. Learn more.
Some of these courses may carry transfer credit, but some are non-credit. Please check the J'explore brochure and course listings carefully. The course must be a full university course of approximately 50 credit hours in order to qualify for transfer and you must submit an official request and your completed transcript to the Registrar's office at Langara in order for your request to be considered.
