French exchange scholarship / draw

sotisme

Hi, I'm wondering if theres any way of getting a scholarship for a french exchange? I have excellent junior cert results to back me up..

Or if any exchange agency's are holding a draw and the winner goes on an exchange to France?!

Would love to get to go to France on an exchange without breaking the bank!

Thanks

sotisme

Or does anyone know how to find a french exchange friend (our schools dont organise this) ?!

Thanks!

As far as I know Stein Study Abroad holds an essay competition in around January each year. You have to write an essay in French (or German or Spanish) on a given topic and the first prize is a free place on one of their summer courses. Mind you, there'll be stiff competition and your chances of winning are really quite small.

And as for finding a French exchange friend, you should be able to find this on Google. For example, this http://irishstudentexchange.com/ comes up if you Google 'french exchange ireland'.

Hope this helps

Thanks a million, that was a huge help. I'll keep an eye out for that essay competition
