Tips about scholarships


 
We recommend that you start your application through Join a School in France before applying for a scholarship. Scholarships are granted only if you are accepted into a higher education establishment and enroll into one of their programs. After starting your application through Join a School in France, you can look into different scholarships.
Getting an answer for your scholarship can take some time, so we suggest that you apply early on, to the schools through Join a School in France, and for the scholarships. That way, if there is any problem or delay, you have enough time to get back on your feet.
You can obtain more than one scholarship: some of them may be combined.

 
Europe and Foreign Affairs Ministry’s scholarships:

  • Specific Programs scholarships are granted, depending on the Ministry’s services in Paris
  • The Eiffel Excellency Scholarship helps finance a Master’s degree. The school in which you will study for your Master’s degree has to fill in the application for this, not the student.
