The France-Acadia scholarships were created in 1969, following the signing of the first France-Acadia agreement. Thanks to the scholarships, 350 Acadians were able to study in France. Since the 1990s, the Acadia-France scholarships, funded by Acadia, have enabled French students to come and study in Acadia. A half-million dollar fund has made it possible for approximately 50 French scholarship recipients to come and study here.
Over the past 50 years, these scholarships have also generated Acadian leadership.
