February 17, 2021 College is expensive and can be a barrier for many people who want to continue their education.
However, it is possible to get a fully funded scholarship that covers all tuition fees, books, living expenses and even travel abroad.
In this article, we will explore the different fully funded scholarships available in France. Fully funded scholarships are funding programs that offer comprehensive financial assistance to eligible students to enable them to pursue their studies without worrying about the associated costs.
These scholarships are generally awarded to the most deserving students, but also to those from disadvantaged backgrounds or with special needs. The French government offers several fully-funded scholarships, including the Excellence-Major program, which is aimed at students who have obtained a "very good" distinction in their baccalaureate and are continuing their studies at a major school.
This scholarship covers tuition fees, books and living expenses for the entire course. The Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) also offers fully funded scholarships to French-speaking students from developing countries.
These scholarships are awarded for master's and doctoral studies in all disciplines and cover tuition fees, travel expenses and living expenses. In addition, many French universities also offer fully funded scholarships to international students, based on academic excellence and financial need.
For example, Sciences Po offers scholarships that cover tuition fees and a monthly stipend for master's students, while Université Paris-Saclay fully funds its international students' PhD studies. There are also fully-funded scholarships specific to certain disciplines or fields of study, such as the Clean Water and Sanitation Scholarship for students in water and sanitation engineering, or the Sustainable Environment Scholarship for students in environmental sciences. In addition to these government and university scholarships, there are also fully-funded scholarships offered by international organizations such as UNESCO or the Erasmus+ program.
These scholarships can be awarded to students for study abroad or for specific research programs. It is important to note that competition for these scholarships is often very high and therefore one must have an excellent academic record as well as a strong motivation to stand out from other candidates.
It is also important to carefully follow the deadlines and eligibility criteria specified by each scholarship program. In conclusion, if you want to pursue studies in France without worrying about the costs, fully funded scholarships are a great option to consider.
Whether you are a student from abroad or a French student, there are many funding opportunities to help you achieve your study projects.
Don't hesitate to explore all these options and apply as soon as possible! Bibliography: - "Scholarships in France for foreign students."
