Montreal is one of the most bilingual cities in Quebec and Canada, with 56% of the population able to speak both official languages. Montreal is the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world after Paris.
The anticipated tuition for 2015-16 is $48,193 for Florida residents and $52,698 for out-of-state students. A microscope/laboratory fee of $100 is required for first-year students. A Health Professions Division student access fee of $145 is required each year.
The scholarship covers the cost of tuition and mandatory fees for two years, but not the cost of room and board or meal plans -- which could cost just as much as tuition at URI. Annual tuition and fees currently cost in-state students about $12,884 at URI, $8,206 at RIC, and $4,266 at CCRI. At the Community College of Rhode Island, students must use the scholarship for their first two years (which would cover the whole degree if they finish on time).
