French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs 2025 Scholarships

French government scholarships are allocated by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs for studies, training courses and language courses in France. The majority of scholarships are awarded by the Cooperation and Cultural Action Departments (SCACs) in French embassies and consulates general abroad. Whatever their country of residence, applicants should therefore directly contact the SCAC in their country of origin, before their departure and sufficiently in advance, to obtain comprehensive scholarship information regarding eligibility criteria, the selection timetable and the required application materials.
