LFKL itself does not offer scholarships directly for general enrollment. However, children of French nationality residing in Malaysia may be eligible for scholarships provided by the French government. These scholarships are awarded based on financial need, taking into account family income, assets, and expenses. They can help cover various costs, including tuition fees, initial registration fees, canteen services, and school transport. To be considered, eligible students must be registered on the Register of French people established outside France.
