Entente cordiale scholarships in France

November 29, 2008

The Entente Cordiale Scholarship Scheme is a prestigious bi-lateral awards scheme that funds British postgraduate students who want to study in France and French students who want to study in the UK. Funded for the most part by the private sector in both countries the scheme provides funding for around 25 French and British students each year.

CAN I APPLY ?

You can apply for an Entente Cordiale scholarship if you are a postgraduate student with a clear idea of your professional goals and an interest in consolidating Franco-British links. To be eligible, you must fulfil all the following criteria :

  • As the scheme is Franco-British you will be expected to be of British nationality. Students of other nationalities should apply at the French Embassy in their own country.
  • You will need an excellent track record illustrating your achievements, both academically and otherwise.

Language skills requirements for the one-year and the short term scholarships are as follows :

  • Arts and humanities students : a good command of French
  • Science, medicine and engineering students : a working or good command of French is a plus, but it is not a mandatory requirement.

Students applying for a language scholarship will be expected to have a basic knowledge of French. Their level will be assessed by the language centre so that they can be offered a course meeting their needs.

Students of all subjects – humanities, the arts, science, medicine, engineering, etc – are eligible to apply. Please note that there is no age limit.

One of the main aims of the scheme is to assist successful candidates in playing leading roles in the future of their country. British Entente Cordiale alumni are now pursuing careers in diverse fields in both the public and the private sectors.

You cannot apply for a scholarship for undergraduate study.
