Overview
The « Initiative d’excellence » (IDEX in short) Université Grenoble Alpes is welcoming applications for the Master Scholarship program.
Details
Application processThe application process is as follows:
- Apply for one of the Masters or Engineer degrees offered. The application must be for the 2025-2026 academic year. Application deadlines vary (see degree for more information);
- In most cases, applicants can apply for the scholarship when they apply for the degree, on the academic division website dedicated to master's and engineer degree applications;
- The academic division selects students for the IdEx scholarship. Calendars vary and there can be a waiting list;
- In all cases, the selection results are sent shortly after the admission committee has sat.
There are three different deadlines to apply for a Master scholarship: April 21st, June 9th, and June 30th, 2025. Students must choose a deadline that precedes the deadline of the Master(s) to which they apply. Indeed, both applications --for admission in the chosen Master(s) and for the scholarship -- will be reviewed together.
Applicants can either apply to the first year of a Master (and thus are eligible for one or two years of funding) or for the second year of a Master (and thus are eligible for one year of funding).
