Alliance Française Scholarship

The recipient of the 2021 Alliance Francaise $1500 scholarship is our very own Christina  Romano! Congratulations Christina!

From the Alliance Francaise announcement: Christina is a senior at Calvin University with majors in French and Global Development Studies and a minor in International Relations. Here is an excerpt from her scholarship application, demonstrating her interest in French language and culture:

“My goal is to work at an international organization such as the United Nations and I am especially concerned about the rights and lives of forced migrants and refugees. I am confident, though, that I want to play a part, whether I significantly change the lives of a small community or millions of people that have been scattered across their countries, continents, and the world. My studies at Calvin University in GDS, IR, and French will prepare me to excel in this work and to do my part as one of Christ’s agents of renewal in the world. I am determined to make a difference in human rights and I cannot wait to find out just how I will do that.” Congratulations, Christina."


Amount: $1,500
