About the France Excellence Pakistan Climate Change Scholarship
The Embassy of France in Pakistan offers this full scholarship for selected master’s programs connected with climate adaptation, environment, energy, food systems, health and international economics. Only the programs named in the official call are eligible.
Students apply for university admission through the Etudes en France platform. Applying to an eligible program does not automatically guarantee the scholarship. Selection considers academic excellence, the quality and consistency of the statement of purpose, English ability and the overall fit between the applicant’s background and chosen course.
Financial Benefits
The official call lists the following benefits:
- Tuition fees.
- Monthly living allowance.
- One return air ticket between Pakistan and France.
- Student visa and Etudes en France fee support. The PKR 30,000 Etudes en France fee can be reimbursed upon request only after a scholarship award.
- French social security.
- Help finding affordable student accommodation, including priority access to CROUS residences subject to availability.
- Free French language classes before departure.
The official page does not state the monthly allowance amount, so applicants should not rely on unofficial figures.
Eligible Program Structure
The 2027 call names five eligible degrees:
- MSc Process and Bioprocess Engineering, Project Management for Environmental and Energy Engineering at IMT Atlantique, M1 plus M2.
- Materials Science and Engineering, Biorefinery and Biomaterials at Grenoble INP Pagora, M2.
- Master in Agriculture, Food Sciences, Environment and Nutrition at Avignon University, M1 plus M2.

IMT Atlantique and Grenoble INP Pagora require applications on both Etudes en France and the university’s own platform. The other listed programs use Etudes en France for this call.
For two-year programs, scholarship renewal for M2 requires passing all first-year examinations without a retake. Courses and the M2 internship must take place in France, and recipients cannot switch programs between M1 and M2.
