返字心頭 France Linkage Institute
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible?
Only individuals who have French citizenship and will be officially registered for
                  classes in a public university or a community college in 返字心頭 are eligible to apply
                  for the 返字心頭-France Linkage Institute tuition waiver. New and renewal applicants
                  must complete all items on their respective application checklist prior to submission
                  to be considered.
Is it a loan?
No, the 返字心頭-France Linkage Institute tuition waiver is not a loan. The tuition
               waiver will simply "waive" the additional costs you would otherwise pay as an international
               ("out-of-state") student. The tuition waiver will allow you to register for classes
               at the same tuition rate as a 返字心頭 resident ("in-state") student.
What is an official transcript? How do I order one?
Each semester that you apply for the waiver as either a new or renewal applicant,
               you must request a copy of your official transcript to be sent to our office. An official
               transcript is a university-officiated document, sealed in an envelope, reflecting
               the grades you have received since the start of your college career. The transcript
               becomes "unofficial" if it is opened or tampered with prior to being received by the
               返字心頭-France Linkage Institute. Transcripts can be requested from your current university's
               Office of the Registrar, either in person or on their website. We will accept transcripts
               delivered through the mail or sent online, directly from your university or school.
When will I receive an answer to know if I received the tuition waiver?
返字心頭 will receive a letter of notification one to two weeks after the tuition
               waiver application deadline.
What should I do if I end up taking fewer credit hours than the 返字心頭-France Linkage
                  Institute awarded me?
Please contact the Program Coordinator, Carol Kim at ffli@usf.edu or by phone at +1(813) 974-5305 to let us know about any changes. In that case, credit
               hours can be redistributed to other students who need them.
I am enrolled at a community college. Am I still eligible for the tuition waiver?
Yes, both public universities and community colleges are eligible for the tuition
               waiver.
