Bourses d'excellence de l'Institut d'Acoustique - Graduate School (IA-GS)

Le Mans Université, France

Scholarship overview

The Institut d'Acoustique - Graduate School (IA-GS) of Le Mans Université awards excellence scholarships to strengthen the appeal of its Master-level programmes and to recruit motivated students with strong academic records. Winners receive financial support to continue their studies within the Institute's programmes.

The scheme is part of the EUR project IA-GS and has a total budget of EUR 80,000 for the 2026-2027 academic year. It is open to French and foreign students, European or not.

A scholarship is granted for one academic year and can be renewed once, so that it can cover both years of the Master, but the student must apply again.
