Intended primarily for Juniors, the program will accept Seniors as well as mature Sophomores who have earned superior grades in French. The program does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion or national or ethnic origin. During the first four weeks of the semester, students live individually with French families in and near Strasbourg. During residence with the French families, students usually have breakfast and dinner at home and lunch on campus. Travel Plan To reduce the cost of air transportation, a round-trip group rate will be obtained for departure from New York and Chicago.
Students are responsible for travel arrangements to and from the departure city.
Although students will depart from the U.S. as a group, the return date will be left unspecified so that students may travel independently at the close of the semester. There is usually a vacation of two weeks during the semester. Financial Aid Students who receive financial aid from state or federal sources are advised to meet early with their Director of Financial Aid to review their status and to determine the amount of their grant or loan that may be applied to the Spring semester in Strasbourg. Students who hold scholarships awarded by their home university must determine if the scholarship may be applied to study in France. Scholarships and grants awarded by off-campus sources may or may not be applicable, a point which students should resolve prior to applying to the Strasbourg program.
