2. What does the scholarship cover?
The Émile Boutmy Scholarship provides a reduction in tuition fees rather than a guaranteed full living-cost package.
Study level | Scholarship benefit |
|---|---|
Bachelor's | Full tuition exemption or €9,500 tuition exemption |
Master's | €18,500 tuition exemption per year for each of the two master's years |
The master's award can therefore provide up to €37,000 in tuition-fee exemptions over two years, if the award is maintained under the applicable conditions.
Important: The scholarship does not automatically cover accommodation, food, flights, health insurance or all other study-related expenses. Applicants should prepare a separate budget for living in France.
