What are the latest MBA scholarships available in France for 2025 intakes?

There are several MBA scholarships in France for 2025 that international applicants, especially Indian students, can target — most are merit or need-based and offered directly by the B-schools.

HEC Paris is offering scholarships like the HEC Excellence Scholarship (up to 50% of tuition) and Forté Foundation Scholarship for women. For 2025, they're also continuing the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship, which covers €1,181 per month plus travel, though it's competitive.

INSEAD’s 2025 intake has a mix of need-based and profile-based awards. The INSEAD Diversity Scholarship is one to look into — it’s open to candidates with unique professional or cultural backgrounds, offering around €15K–€20K.
