What Université Paris-Saclay International Master's Scholarship actually covers.
The Université Paris-Saclay International Master's Scholarship Programme supports outstanding international students — including those from all African nations — who wish to pursue master's degrees at one of the world's top universities for science, technology, and mathematics. Université Paris-Saclay consistently ranks in the global top 15 for physics and mathematics and in the top 20 overall in subject rankings, clustering some of France's most prestigious institutions including Paris-Sud, CentraleSupélec, AgroParisTech, ENS Paris-Saclay, and more. The scholarship provides monthly living support and/or tuition fee contributions, designed to make this elite research environment accessible to talented students from developing countries. African students with strong backgrounds in physics, mathematics, computer science, biotechnology, agronomy, public health, data science, and engineering are particularly encouraged to apply. The Paris-Saclay campus is located 25 km south of Paris and is home to dozens of leading research institutes and the Silicon Valley-like innovation cluster of Plateau de Saclay, offering outstanding research internship and career opportunities. The scholarship application typically opens each autumn and closes in January or February for the following September intake. Applications are submitted through the University's dedicated international scholarship portal, and candidates must simultaneously apply for master's programme admission. Students are evaluated on academic excellence, research potential, and the fit between their proposed programme and their professional aspirations.
