Attention Students! Here's Your Chance to Study in France on the Abay-Vern Program
Get ready to pack your bags and step into the world of international education, as the Abay-Vern Program offers exciting opportunities for aspiring master's and doctoral students from Kazakhstan! This program, an agreement between the Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, promises to provide scholarships for a vibrant academic experience in France.
For master's students, 42 lucky individuals can receive a monthly scholarship of 800 euros for five months, starting in January 2025. If you're aiming for a doctoral degree, you could land a scholarship worth 1500 euros a month for your entire study duration.
The Abay-Vern Program was established in April 2018, with the goal of fostering the Kazakh-French educational partnership and producing highly qualified professionals. This partnership strives to develop strategies for internationalization and dual-degree education, focusing on sending Kazakh students for studies in master's and doctoral programs.
In terms of funding, the program follows a parity system, meaning both parties contribute equally. The French government covers various benefits, including:
- exemption from registration fees and annual student fees in French universities
- reimbursement for insurance expenses up to 264 euros per year
- assistance with finding accommodation in university dormitories
- preferential rates for cultural events and free housing guarantee "VISALE" (Visa pour le logement et l'emploi)
- assistance with housing payments and free affiliation to the general French social security system
- provision of a free long-term student visa
On the other hand, the Kazakh side takes care of living expenses, providing a monthly allowance of 800 euros for master's students for ten months and 1200 euros for doctoral students for six months each year for three years.
To maximize your chances of securing a scholarship under the Abay-Vern Program, it's essential to consult official sources such as Kazakhstani government scholarship portals, French diplomatic missions, or university partnerships between Kazakh and French institutions. Typical requirements may include academic transcripts, language proficiency, letters of recommendation, and a research proposal. For detailed and precise guidance, directly contact the educational authorities of both countries or review the official agreement text.
