Scholarships and Mobility: Supporting Academic Excellence and International Openness

The French Graduate Schools Network is committed to attracting the best international talent and fostering their academic and professional success. Through a range of scholarships and mobility grants, we enable students with outstanding academic records to join our Master’s and PhD programs and enrich their academic journey with unique international experiences.

1. Scholarships for International Students

Academic Excellence Scholarships

Have you achieved outstanding academic results? The French Graduate Schools Network offers merit-based scholarships to support you financially during your Master’s or PhD studies. These scholarships may cover partial or full tuition fees and include a monthly stipend for living expenses.

• Exceptional academic performance.

International Mobility Grants

We believe mobility is essential for training the researchers and engineers of tomorrow. That’s why we provide financial support for:

• Academic semesters abroad: Study for 6 months at a partner university.

• International internships: Complete an internship in a laboratory or company abroad.

These grants cover travel, accommodation, and event registration fees.

2. Mobility for International Faculty and Researchers

The French Graduate Schools Network also encourages the mobility of foreign professors and researchers. We welcome academics from around the world for short-term stays (1 to 4 weeks) to share their research with our students. These exchanges:

• Enrich teaching with international perspectives.

• Foster lasting scientific collaborations.

• Enhance the appeal of our programs to foreign students and researchers.
