Finlandia Foundation Florida Chapter is offering scholarship support to assist a first-time one-week villager with a full scholarship to attend the Salolampi Language Village program.  Villagers come to Salolampi from many states each summer to enjoy the beautiful northern Minnesota forest to learn about Finnish culture and language.
