Funded Programs for French Studies

Destination Clic is a government-funded three-week summer program for Francophone (French first-language) students in Grades 8, 9, and 10, who attend a French-language minority school and live outside of Quebec. These students may travel to an institution located in a Francophone setting to improve their French-language skills, meet other Francophones who are their age from across Canada, and strengthen their Francophone roots.

Over $2,000 of costs are covered for students to participate in the Destination Clic program.

Please note: These funds are transferred directly to the institution you will be attending and are considered taxable income for which you will receive a tax receipt.

For more information and to apply, please visit the Destination Clic website.

The Explore program is a government-funded program offered in the spring and summer for students of any skill level in French. It allows students to travel to and discover another region and culture in Canada through workshops, cultural activities, classroom instruction and field trips.

• Explore 16+ is a five-week program, offered both in-person and virtually during the spring and summer. Over $3,000 of costs are covered for students to participate in an in-person Explore program.
• The Youth Explore program, for 13-15 year-olds, lasts three weeks in the summer, with a similar structure and the same goals. Over $2,000 of costs are covered for students 13-15 years old to participate in an in-person Explore program.

Please note: For both Explore programs, these funds are transferred directly to the institution you will be attending and are considered taxable income for which you will receive a tax receipt.
