Grant for French language courses
at Alliance Française de Bangalore
ABOUT
The Alliance Française de Bangalore was established in 1970 and is part of the world’s most renowned network of French language and cultural centres. Our primary missions are to develop the teaching and use of the French language in Bangalore, to promote cultural diversity and dialogue, and to support Indo-French cultural programs.
We are also eager to play our part in contributing to the local communities’ development and bringing about social change. We therefore allocate each year a few grants to underprivileged youth (between 16 to 25 years old) who are particularly keen to learn the French language with a clear academic or professional goal in mind.
Applications are open to candidates residing in Bangalore only.
