The Entente Cordiale Scholarship Programme is a prestigious awards scheme that funds British postgraduate students who want to study in France. Funded by the French Embassy in London, the scheme provides funding for British students each year.
The Entente Cordiale Scholarships provide students with the opportunity to experience life on the other side of the channel and widen their horizons. Once they become an Entente Cordiale scholar, they become part of an influential alumni network, the Entente Cordiale Alumni Association, which already numbers over 300 members, and through which they will find strong career development opportunities.
The programme was founded in 1995 by President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister John Major at a summit meeting. In December 2017, the Franco-British Council became the trustee of the Entente Cordiale Scholarship Trust.
Applications for the 2025 Programme for the academic year 2025/26 will open on 7th January 2025 and close on 31st March 2025.
