The France Excellence Scholarship covers the administrative costs of enrolling in a state diploma program at state higher education institutions, as well as a monthly allowance for the beneficiary’s living expenses.
Candidates for the France Excellence Scholarship should inquire at the higher education institution where they will apply for a master’s degree, to check whether additional costs for the study program are added to the administrative costs for enrollment. These additional costs will not be covered by the France Excellence scholarship and these costs remain the responsibility of the scholarship student.
