The University of Pennsylvania, based in Philadelphia, PA offers a fully funded PhD in French and Francophone Studies. Candidates for admission to the Ph.D. program should have fluency in French as well as demonstrated skill in academic writing. All students admitted to the Graduate Program in French & Francophone Studies receive a Benjamin Franklin Fellowship, which guarantees five years of financial support (tuition remission, Penn’s health insurance, and a stipend of $32,255 in 2021-2022) to students who continue in good academic standing. Students will also receive summer stipends. The fellowship requires a two-year teaching assistantship as service to the department.
