The Alliance Française was created in Paris in 1883 by a group of eminent men, including the scientist Louis Pasteur, the writer Jules Verne, the diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps and the publisher Armand Colin. Headquartered in Paris, the Alliance had 850 centers in 137 countries on every inhabited continent in 2014.

Each year, the Alliance Française de Philadelphie awards two scholarships for francophone students and young professionals.
The Pierre C. Fraley scholarship’s beneficiary is Madeline McDonald, who attended Princeton’s Aix en Provence Summer Program.
“I would like to offer endless gratitude to the Alliance Française for supporting this life-changing experience.”
Ezra Campos-Pereira is the Marie Louise Vermeiren Jackson Scholarship recipient. He used the scholarship to attend Rutgers six week Summer in Paris term.
"For me, this experience was the culmination of my French degree, and I couldn’t ask for a better way to bridge these chapters of
my life"
