Following publication of l Étude sur les besoins de la clientèle issue de l immersion désirant poursuivre une scolarisation en français 1 le Réseau des cégeps et des collèges francophones du Canada (RCCFC) considered some observations and recommendations presented as necessary to provide support to the efforts of its members in providing access to students currently in a French immersion program at an English secondary school. It was soon apparent to us that it was important to provide to francophone post-secondary institutions promotional tools that will make students currently in French Immersion programs aware of the services and support available to them should they continue their post-secondary education in French. This directory offers you an overview of the post-secondary support services, recruitment programs, and financial incentives offered by the member institutions of the RCCFC in support of a continuing francophone education by students coming from French immersion programs. ÉTUDIER EN FRANÇAIS, is an opportunity to distinguish yourself, and to have access to cultural and professional opportunities that are only available to bilingual Canadians.
