Scholarships Check this site for scholarships for students who are studying French, as well as scholarship and college locators where you can see what other scholarships and college programs are available to you. Most of these locators make a donation to our scholarship fund when you register to do a free search, so you are helping yourself and other students when you do this.

We offer two kinds of scholarships. Dollars for Scholars scholarships are for high school seniors and college students living in western Washington to study French at a college or university in Washington. Goldmark Scholarships are for students who want to study in Nantes, France. This scholarship is given in honor of the Goldmark Family of Seattle.

Seattle-Nantes Sister City Association is composed of individuals and organizations interested in promoting close ties between the people of Seattle and Nantes, France.

Its goals are to advance educational, cultural, and commercial relations between Seattle and Nantes, and to inform and educate the public about our sister city. To further these goals, the association established Seattle-Nantes Dollars for Scholars to encourage young people to study French language and culture and build a desire to visit or study in Nantes.
