Attention seniors studying French - The French-American Scholarship Fund will award the Freshman Year Merit Scholarships of $1,000 each to two senior students attending the French Language Luncheon hosted by the World Affairs Council of Houston in April 2008. Applications due by March 25th. Click here to dowload the application.
Reason to attend These events are fun and educational, motivating students to gain proficiency in a new language. Students will benefit by:
-
Practicing public speaking
-
Learning about a current topic
-
Meeting peers from other schools
-
Conversing with business leaders
-
Gaining self-confidence in their language
Selecting students We invite advanced non-native language students and teachers to represent their school. Students will be expected to speak in the specified language throughout the luncheon. The foreign language will be spoken through the duration of the event so we ask that teachers select students at level three or higher.
Teachers of German, Spanish, and French are invited to honor four students at the luncheon.
Teachers of Russian, Italian, and Arabic are invited to honor up to 20 students. Teachers of Chinese and Japanese are invited to honor up to 15 students.
