Annual Grant Program Application Form
A program of FACE Foundation and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, the French Dual Language Fund aims to support the expanding network of French dual language and immersion programs in American public schools. Currently this network is comprised of 182 schools in 29 states, serving over 33,000 students.
More information about the Fund can be found here.
The Annual Grant Program We invite teachers and administrators of American K-12 public schools, school districts, state agencies who manage French dual language and immersion programs to apply for a grant in the amount of $1,000 to $10,000 to support a specific project aimed at promoting the objectives of the Fund. The project should address one or more of the five specific program areas:
1/ Creating or developing a francophone environment in your school (for example, purchase of books, DVDs, CDs, or games for the francophone section of your school library or organization of a francophone event such as film screenings, workshops with francophone authors, theater clubs, and more).
2/ Adapted pedagogical material for the classroom (for example, curriculum supports such as software, DVDs, subscription to TV5, etc. for your French class or subject matter class adapted for French Immersion, costs related to assessment, and more).
3/ Professional development for teachers (for example, sending teachers to France to the CLA or France Education International, sending teachers to professional development institutes in the United States, or supporting the facilitation of workshops with experts identified by the district or the school, and more).
4/ Professional development for administrators (for example, participation by an administrator in a CARLA summer institute, online certification for administrators of dual language programs, supporting the school to invite external experts or consultants to provide council on development of the dual language program, and more)
5/ French language proficiency tests for students (priority will be given for the DELF/DALF, but we will also consider other types of assessments such as STAMP or AAPPL, etc.)
