Importance of Accreditation

European and International Accreditation

Many French business schools and specialized programs also seek accreditation from European and international bodies, such as:

• EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System): Focuses on business schools and management programs.
• AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business): A global accreditation body for business schools.
• AMBA (Association of MBAs): Specializes in accrediting MBA programs.

Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme

• Targeted at master’s and PhD students, this prestigious scholarship is offered by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. It covers tuition fees, a monthly allowance, and other expenses such as travel and health insurance.

Erasmus+ Programme

• While not exclusive to France, the Erasmus+ Programme supports international students from the EU and beyond to study at European institutions, including those in France. It offers grants that can cover tuition fees and living expenses.

Institution-Specific Scholarships

• Many French universities and grandes écoles offer their scholarships based on academic excellence, research potential, or financial need. These scholarships can cover a significant portion of tuition fees and living expenses.

Government and External Scholarships

• Various government and private organizations in students' home countries also offer scholarships for study abroad programs in France. These can be a valuable source of funding, and students are encouraged to research these opportunities thoroughly.
