UNIVR Scholarship Details

The UNIV’R program , supported by Campus France, UNHCR and AUF, allows selected refugees residing in a first country of asylum to benefit from material and financial support for the continuation of their studies in France.

The program is open to applicants holding at least a three-year undergraduate degree (Bachelor’s, Bachelor’s, or equivalent). Courses are taught in English or French at 14 higher education institutions in France. Admitted students will begin their studies in September 2026 .

The beneficiaries come to France on a student visa . Upon completion of their training, they can apply for a one-year residence permit to look for a job, but no guarantee of permanent residence is provided .

Note: Selected refugees will arrive in France with a long-stay visa equivalent to a residence permit (VLS-TS). This visa is strictly individual and does not grant the right to family reunification.
