A significant educational partnership between the French government, Bank of the Republic of Haiti, and Unibank Foundation has officially launched its Master’s scholarship program for Haitian students seeking advanced studies in France during the 2026-2027 academic year.
The comprehensive scholarship initiative targets high-achieving Haitian scholars under 35 years of age who demonstrate academic excellence and seek to pursue Master’s level studies (M2) within France’s public university system. The program specifically focuses on four critical academic disciplines: Economics/Finance/Governance, Science & Technology (including Artificial Intelligence), Engineering Sciences, and Health studies (excluding clinical specialization).
Prospective applicants must navigate a dual application process, requiring both scholarship application and formal admission through the exclusive ‘Etudes en France’ platform. The program explicitly excludes applications processed through alternative channels such as MonMaster.gouv.fr or E-Candidat systems. Eligibility mandates Haitian citizenship, residency in Haiti, and possession of a BAC+4 equivalent degree in the relevant field.
Selected recipients will receive comprehensive support including monthly stipends, full tuition coverage, pre-paid airline tickets, and visa facilitation through the French Embassy. Campus France will provide ongoing assistance with institutional coordination and arrival logistics.
The application window remains open until May 29, 2026, with a rigorous selection timeline involving document review, committee shortlisting, and oral interviews throughout June. Final selections will be announced during the last week of June, followed by pre-departure orientation sessions in late August.
Interested candidates can access application materials and institutional directories through provided official links, with additional guidance available through Haiti’s Campus France office and designated embassy contacts.
