The Chateaubriand Fellowship - Science Program

The Embassy of France in the United States (Office for Science and Technology - OS&T) launches the Chateaubriand Fellowship - Science Program which is intended for PhD students registered in an American university who wish to conduct part of their doctoral research in a French laboratory for a 4 to 10 month period.

OS&T provides a stipend (1,400 Euros a month) and covers the cost of travel and student health insurance in France. Visa fees are waived for Fellows registering in a French University.

All disciplines in Sciences, Technology and Health are eligible. Priority will be given to the candidates who seek a “double degree” (cotutelle) with the French host university.

Knowledge of French is not mandatory. The level of French required is at the host institution’s discretion. Courses of French can be found on site.

The Chateaubriand grants aim to initiate / reinforce collaborations, partnerships or joint projects by encouraging exchanges at the doctoral level, and supporting PhD students registered in an American university who engage in a co-supervised PhD.

The deadline and application form are available on the website : http://www.chateaubriand-fellowship.org
