Financing your studies/scholarships

Conditions for obtaining scholarships for mobility aids are set by funding organizations and vary from program to program.
They are subject to decision from funding organizations and should therefore not be considered a “must have”.

Students can apply for several types of scholarships

Prior to obtaining a scholarship, students must be accepted by ESA and receive a letter of acceptation into the Master Food Identity.
In addition it is on your responsibility to respect scholarship application deadlines. Only fully and correctly completed files can be submitted to funding organization. We have no link with the French government to decide which student will be granted.

There exists several kinds of scholarships. The ones offered by the French government or Campus France present in your country and scholarships offer by the European Union through the ERASMUS programs.
