Solutions for financing your studies
We understand that your decision to study abroad is not only academic but also financial. Unlike some other business schools, where you might face significantly higher tuition fees as an international student compared to domestic students, we believe in fairness and equality.
That is why, at ESSCA, there is no difference in tuition fees between French and international students.
Two types of scholarships are available at ESSCA to international students.
Excellence Scholarship
ESSCA’s objective is to identify and recruit the most talented individuals, regardeless of their background or financial circumstances.
We offer partial scholarships, ranging from 15% to 30% of the 1st-year tuition fees, to support both academic excellence and non-academic achievements.
These scholarships can be combined with the early bird discount.
High Potential Scholarship
Up to 75% off of the first year’s tuition fees for outstanding international students.
Our Scholarships Committee can award this scholarship to our incoming students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement. In addition, to be among our most academically talented students, the candidate awarded must demonstrate excellence beyond the classroom and is leader in his/her school, university and/or community.
No separated application is needed as the Committee will consider candidates applying for the Excellence Scholarship for this grant.

Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme
The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme, established by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, aims to attract top foreign students to enrol in Masters and PhD programmes at French higher education institutions.
This prestigious scholarship provides unique opportunities for future foreign decision-makers in both the private and public sectors, in priority areas of study.
It encourages applications from students up to 25 years old from developing countries at the Master’s level, and applicants up to 30 years old from developing and industrialised countries at the PhD level.
Explore other options
Many students seek financial assistance in their home country, where a limited number of grants are funded by the government, public institutions, or even private actors.
Campus Bourses provides useful information about these opportunities on their website. International students are encouraged to contact Campus France in their home countries to inquire about scholarships granted by the French government
