The Alec Vitarius Memorial Scholarship, named for an exemplary French student, is given every two years. They live with area families, participate in local events and take trips to other areas to learn more about America and to improve their English. On odd number years a similar group travels to Frejus with the same agenda. Group size is usually 20-25. The students do not receive a salary.
Time spent is usually six weeks.
We provide a home with a local family, educational trips and visits in the region. American students engage in the same program with the same agenda. The Mayor of Frejus proclaimed our 1993 Exhibition the most visited in the history of their cultural center. Frejus Sister City provided housing and an automobile for the entire month of the exhibition. Lectures were given to schoolchildren throughout the month.
