Applying to the France - South Africa Scholarship Programme means that applicants accept and will comply with all the rules. Please read them carefully again. In addition please note that:
In case the studies are interrupted, the scholarship will automatically be suspended.
The visa granted for the student does not lead automatically to visas for members of his/her family.
The scholar benefits from priority access to student housing via Campus France. However, this is not guaranteed as the demand for this type of accommodation is considerable.
The social protection is only provided for the duration of the scholarship and includes risk of infection and diseases, risk of accidents and liability insurance, with the exception of diseases contracted before arrival in France.
One return plane ticket will be granted by the scholarship programme, but will not be available for family members.
The complete scholarship application file must be submitted online only. For this purpose, each candidate must:
— create a member account with a valid email address after accepting the terms and conditions of the programme.
— fill in the forms online.
— upload all the requested documents
Make the final submission before the deadline, 8 October 2025 at 23:59 South Africa time. Please be aware that you will not be able to modify your application after the final submission.
The member account (login and password) allows you to take your time to complete and finish the process before the deadline. Make sure you provide all the necessary information and documents before the final submission.
To open an account, you need to provide some key information (identity, address, valid email address and a mobile phone number). Please double check that the provided information is correct before you submit, as they cannot be modified later.
It is recommended that you process your application on a desktop. Applicants are responsible for any errors in their applications and that may result in not being eligible.
Please be aware that the online application does not support special characters such as apostrophes ('). Do not use them while filling out your application as it would cause the erasement of all entered data.
