France Fees & Grant For Students
Admission fees
A unique feature of the French educational system: institutions of higher education are most often subsidized by the State. As a result, there is no relationship between tuition fees and the quality of the instruction – the real cost is not borne by the student. Registration fees vary depending on the institution (public or private) and the curriculum. Annual fees for a university range from €130 to €695 for some specific programs (Licence: €150, Master: €190, Doctorate: €290, university engineering schools: €450), while fees for Grandes Ecoles business schools and engineering schools are the highest (between €3,800 and €14,000 per year)
Foreign students may qualify for three types of grants: granted either by the French government, or by the government of their home country, or by international and non-governmental organizations.
Most of the scholarships financed by the French government are administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which makes approximately 22,000 grants each year.
