Fulbright/Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) de Rennes Award

Two awards of up to 24 months each are offered to pursue a master's degree program at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Rennes. Founded in 1994, ENS Rennes was created as a satellite campus of ENS Cachan in Brittany and has been an independent institution since 2013. It is one of the top ranked and most highly competitive Grandes Ecoles in France, specializing in Law, Economics, Management, Computer Science, Telecommunications, Mathematics, Mechatronics, Sport Science, and Physical Education. This Fulbright graduate degree grant provides full tuition waiver to the degree program and optional summer school, along with a monthly stipend and international travel benefits. Grantees must satisfy the academic requirements of the first year of the master's program to be eligible for the second year of funding. Grants will generally begin on September 1 through August 31 for university attendance, and grantees may attend an optional summer school prior to beginning the degree program. The program offers opportunities in multiple master's programs including Public Policy, Complex Systems Engineering, Physical Education and Sports Science, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Water Science, Biodiversity Ecology and Evolution, and Environmental Energy and Transport Economics. Grantees are required to attend a mandatory 1- to 2-day in-country orientation in late September and a 2-day mid-year conference in February organized by the Fulbright Commission in France.
