Foreign bursary students whose bursary is managed by Campus France have access to a number of services that will make setting up and staying in France much easier.
Your personal online space
If you are a recipient of a bursary and it is managed by Campus France, you are provided with a personal online space. You can monitor the progress of your file, gather useful information relating to your stay and contact us easily.
Before leaving
