Students of French nationality may receive a school scholarship from the first year of kindergarten (petite section), provided they are at least 3 years old in the calendar year of the school start. The scholarship is awarded by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), on the recommendation of the Local Scholarship Commission, which meets twice a year.

Applications must be submitted each school year at the first commission in January (CB1) for the following school year. There is no automatic renewal from one year to the next.

A second commission (CB2) is held in summer, for new expatriates, for applications deferred at CB1, and for families whose situation has changed significantly since CB1 (to be documented). These families inform the accounting department when they submit their application so that a tailored payment schedule can be offered.

EFIP sends an email to families to inform them of the opening of each of the two scholarship campaigns.

All information on educational assistance can be found on the French Embassy website.

The first scholarship campaign for the 2026-2027 school year will open on January 4, 2026.
