The Erasmus+ Mobility Scholarships
French public institutes and the Erasmus+ programme offer a large number of scholarships for foreign students to help them finance their studies in France and Europe.
THE ERASMUS+ MOBILITY SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
Erasmus + is a European Union programme that supports education, training, youth and sport. Through it, over two million students can benefit from a mobility bursary in Europe: it covers the 2014-2020 period, with a budget of 14.7 billion Euros.
The Erasmus Mundus joint Master's offer is a study programme that awards scholarships to the world's best students for one or two years, regardless of their field of studies. To receive one, these students must take their master's programme in at least two countries participating in the programme. Several French institutes of higher education offer joint Master's programmes.
In the framework of bilateral agreements between institutes of higher education, Erasmus+ also offers mobility scholarships from and to France. They cover removal and accommodation costs. Find out more from the institute you are enrolled in.
The former Erasmus programmes are still active
Some joint doctoral programmes are still funded by the old Erasmus Mundus programme and still award scholarships. Nonetheless, European joint doctorates (EJD) that were set up in the framework of Horizon 2020, the European Union programme for Research and Innovation, will progressively replace them.
Some partnerships that came under the old Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programme still offer mobility scholarships. Many projects associate at least one French institute.
