Applications are now open for the Institut Galilée excellence scholarships to study in France. The program is available for candidates of all nationalities who are currently studying abroad and want to apply for a master’s degree at Institut Galilée or at its engineering school, Sup Galilée. Candidates selected for this scholarship in Europe will therefore be able to continue in a Master 1 and/or Master 2 program at the Galilée Institute of Sorbonne Paris Nord University.
The money is not bad either: €10,500 for a two-year program and €3,500 for a one-year master’s. Engineering students get €10,500 for two years. The scholarship depends on one thing: you must pre-register for a master’s or engineering program at Institut Galilée first. No pre-registration, no scholarship. The selection is based on your grades and your motivation.
Founded in 1971, Sorbonne Paris Nord University is a center for teaching and research located north of Paris, France. The university has five campuses, spread over the two departments of Seine-Saint-Denis and Val d’Oise. It welcomes more than 25,000 students in initial or continuing education, in all areas of Human Sciences and Societies, Law, Health, Medicine and Human Biology, Letters, political and Social Sciences Languages, Communication Sciences, Economics and Management Sciences, etc.
