Partially funded

Differentiated Tuition Fee Waiver (Exonération des frais d'inscription différenciés)

Nantes Université, France

Scholarship overview

Nantes Université can waive part of the differentiated tuition fees paid by non-EU students. The waiver is a success-support measure, granted once per cycle and valid only for the current academic year. It is not automatic.

For 2026-2027, differentiated fees are EUR 2,902 for a licence and EUR 3,950 for a master. A partial exemption means the student pays national fees for 2026-2027 only; total exemption is not offered for differentiated fees. The legal ceiling is a maximum of 30% of students (Decree 2026-385).
