Fulbright-CY Initiative Award (CY Cergy Paris Université and ESSEC Business School)

Three awards of 10 months each are offered to pursue a master's degree program offered through the CY Initiative of Excellence. The CY Initiative brings together CY Cergy Paris Université and ESSEC Business School, creating one of the 17 French Universities of Excellence selected by the French government. CY Cergy Paris Université is a multidisciplinary teaching and research university located just outside of Paris, created in January 2020. It has five graduate schools focusing on sciences, engineering, economics; arts and humanities; education; law and political science; and business and management. The program provides full tuition waiver and monthly stipend for 10 months, with grants generally running from September 1 through June 30. Grants may be renewed for a second year of studies, conditional upon results. Grantees are required to attend mandatory orientations and mid-year conferences organized by the Fulbright Commission in France.
