Étudiants, Chercheurs

Pakistani applicants with outstanding academic records have a number of funding options for their studies in France.

SMARTS-UP Scholarship

Université Paris Cité is training future scientists and leading experts to thrive as academics or senior executives. The SMARTS-UP programme, led by Université Paris Cité, aims to promote the internationalisation of Master's programmes and attract the best international students. In this context, we offer 160 individual scholarships, € 8,000 each, to allow Graduate Schools to welcome international students in their Master’s programmes. The scholarships are awarded for one year.

SMARTS-UP scholarships are intended for international students coming to study at Université Paris Cité in one of the Masters of the 22 Graduate Schools. You can consult the list of Graduate Schools that are part of the SMARTS-UP project on https://mobility.smarts-up.fr/.

Awardees will receive € 8,000 paid in three instalments (€4,000 in November 2023; 3,000 in February 2024 and 1,000 in May 2024). Please note that this award is a scholarship, not a stipend. It is a financial aid to help you study but it will not be sufficient to live in Paris. You will need an additional source of income to cover your stay. This award cannot be cumulated with any other scholarship. It is awarded for the academic year 2023-2024 only and cannot be postponed.”
