International mobility aid: everything you need to know

Study abroad scholarships

Scholarships are perhaps the most sought-after form of aid! They help cover part or all of the tuition fees and living expenses in the destination country. For instance, if you study at a partner university through the Erasmus+ program, you may receive a scholarship to reduce the cost of your stay. But that’s not all! Government scholarships, such as the Eiffel Scholarship, are designed specifically for international students looking to come to France for a master’s or doctoral program.

These scholarships are often awarded based on academic or socio-economic criteria, so take the time to carefully review the eligibility conditions. If you’re coming to study in France, you can also explore student housing options. Ecla offers various options of coliving in Paris and Île-de-France:

• Student accommodation in Paris
• Student accommodation in Massy-Palaiseau
• Student accommodation in Villejuif
• Student accommodation in Noisy-le-Grand

University exchange programs

University exchange programs, like Erasmus+, allow you to study abroad for one or two semesters while remaining enrolled in your home institution. This way, you avoid paying additional tuition fees at your host university. It’s a great way to reduce costs and fund your stay!

In France, many university agreements allow exchanges worldwide. As an international student, you can integrate quickly through these programs while benefiting from the support of your host university for administrative tasks and housing. Finding student accommodation near Paris, such as in Villejuif or Massy-Palaiseau, will also be easier thanks to these initiatives.

Grants for internships and research

If you need to complete an internship or conduct research abroad as part of your studies, there are also specific grants available! These aids often cover travel expenses and part of the living costs. A great example? The Eurodyssée program helps young European graduates finance internships abroad.

And if you’re coming to France for an internship? Don’t worry! Coliving options in Paris or Île-de-France, like those offered by Ecla, can make your stay easier by providing flexible and suitable housing for your temporary stay.
