Explore - Summer Language Bursary Programs

Administered by the Council of Ministers of Education (Canada)

The Explore program enables students from Grade 11 to post-secondary levels to take an immersion course of five weeks in their second official language. The bursary is paid directly to the institution and covers costs of tuition, instructional materials, room and board, and compulsory activities. The student's transportation costs and optional expenses are his/her own responsibility.

Students are accepted at all levels of language competence. Programs are offered at institutions all across Canada. All programs include socio-cultural activities as well as classroom instruction.
