Need-based Scholarships

Upon acceptance, students may apply for need-based scholarships from the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of French and Italian and the UT Education Abroad Office. The College of Liberal Arts has typically allocated about $25,000 in scholarship money for Lyon Summer Program participants. We are typically able to offer scholarships averaging close to $1,500 per student depending on need.

In addition, we are honored to award multiple Solange Boutin Plangman Endowed Scholarships for the Lyon Summer Program. These scholarship were created by CFP Foundation, on behalf of its founding trustees, Sylvie Plangman Crum and Gary Thomas Crum, to honor the legacy of Sylvie's mother, Solange, and her love for France and the French cultural spirit. Sylvie is pleased to help cultivate that same passion for French within students at her own alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin. The scholarship will cover all costs and fees for the program for two economically disadvantaged students each year.
