Overview
IFA Paris awards three types of scholarships for its undergraduate and postgraduate programs to support outstanding candidates according to their profile and financial situation.

Rules
- You can only apply for one type of scholarship listed above. You must state which one you are applying for.
- It is valid for any of our Undergraduate or Postgraduate programs.
- If you are not awarded the scholarship you applied for, you cannot apply for another one. If you are still interested in joining IFA Paris, you would need to go through the regular paying admission process. Advice: choose the scholarship type wisely!
- If you do not upload one of the required documents when submitting your application, then you will not be considered as your application is incomplete and it is too late afterwards.
Required Documents
In addition to the files required for regular admission, you must provide the below documents:
- Motivation letter (this replaces the motivation letter in the regular application)
- Why you’re applying for a scholarship?
- Why should IFA Paris award you a scholarship?
- Why did you choose the selected program?
- How will the selected program help you achieve your goals?
- Scholarship application form
- The form should be filled out in full and as well as the budget section which is very important.
- For the fashion design (creative) programs Bachelor in Fashion Design & Technology and Master of Arts in Contemporary Fashion Design, scholarship applicants must provide a portfolio. (this is also stated in the regular admission requirements)
- For MBA programs only, applicants must provide 3 reference letters.
Important
The application deadline for the Full Scholarship is March 15th, 2025. The Excellence and Distinction Scholarships do not have a deadline and are available all year round.
