France’s ministries of Europe and foreign affairs (MEAE) and of higher education and research (MESR) have implemented a program to encourage international students to pursue in France master’s-level training in earth systems, climate change and sustainability, or the energy transition at French institutions of higher education.
Approximately 50 master’s grants will be made annually under the program, beginning with the 2018 academic year.
The program is managed by Campus France. Interested students are invited to apply online at "how to apply for the Make Our Planet Great Again programs" on Campus France website.
Who may apply?
International students may apply for support for one or two years of study toward a master’s degree in France by including in their application a letter of admission to a master’s program (first or second year) at a French institution of higher education.
