Scholarship applications: The first scholarship campaign for the 2026/2027 year is open. Applications must be submitted or sent to the Consulate General of France in Munich, Service des affaires sociales (not by email), no later than Friday, 24 February 2026. The AEFE can provide scholarships to French children living abroad to cover all or part of tuition, under certain conditions. Scholarships are offered by a Consular Council for School Scholarships (CCB) established at each post and awarded after the advice of a National Commission (CN) on decision of the Agency. Scholarships are awarded based on resources; if the declared situation is in doubt, a social inquiry may be carried out or additional supporting documents requested. The amount is not paid directly to the student; AEFE pays the school directly, which deducts it from tuition. A scholarship covers tuition and registration fees and may cover related costs such as school transport and books, but does not cover extracurricular activities. New families should apply before enrollment is confirmed for their child; the scholarship application must be renewed every year and filed within regulatory deadlines. The presence of scholarship students is checked at the start of the school year. A new feature this year is the possibility to submit online via SCOLAIDE, though paper applications at the Consulate General of France in Munich remain possible. Eligibility: candidate must be French, registered with the Consulate in the Foreigners' Registry, reside in the consular district, be enrolled at Lycée Jean Renoir at any level (kindergarten, elementary, middle or high school), and be at least 3 years old by December 31 of the current school year. Required documents include a motivated letter, the scholarship application form, and documents proving family composition and financial situation. For first-time applications, an appointment at the Consulate is required. The campaign calendar: a first Scholarships Council meets in spring to review renewals and first-time applications; a second Council meets in autumn to review only late arrivals and first-time applications from families whose financial situation has worsened. For more information, consult the AEFE site or the Consulate General of France in Munich.
