Campus Bourses Listings

Campus Bourses is a scholarship search database, not one scholarship. It lists scholarships from French and foreign governments, regions, universities, foundations and companies. Campus France states that students can filter scholarships by nationality, field and level of study.

Required documents

Because Campus Bourses is a search tool, documents depend on the scholarship found. Common documents include:

• Passport.
• Academic transcripts.
• Degree certificate.
• CV.
• Motivation letter.
• Admission letter.
• Recommendation letters.
• Language certificate.
• Financial need statement, if required.
• Research proposal for PhD funding.
• Portfolio for artistic programmes.

Eligible nationalities

• Depends on the scholarship.
• Some scholarships are open to all international students.
• Some are only for students from specific countries.

• Some are based on bilateral agreements between France and another country.
• Students should use the nationality filter to avoid irrelevant scholarships.
