Pursuing higher education is an important investment. Depending on your nationality and status, several types of financial support may be available to help you study in France.

Studying in France: Visa, Procedures, Scholarships, Housing and Health Coverage

Before your arrival, you will need to complete certain administrative procedures related to your visa, student housing, health insurance, and financial aid. We recommend that you consult the CROUS Lyon website, which provides detailed information for international students preparing to study in France:

French Government Scholarships

Depending on their nationality and residence status, some international students may qualify for scholarships granted by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. These scholarships are awarded based on social criteria and are mainly intended for students already residing in France under certain conditions.
