Home institution CNSMDL

Once you have been accepted on the CoPeCo programme at Lyon CNSMD you will be able to apply for several scholarships to support your studies during the three semesters abroad. Please note that scholarships are not allocated automatically to students accepted on the CoPeCo programme. For the scholarships listed below the application process takes place through the institutional coordinator. In some cases it might be necessary to start applying as soon as you have been accepted on the programme as deadlines can be quite early on in the year and the application process may take time. Please contact the programme administrator or the scholarship coordinators for more information regarding the application requirements and deadlines!

Scholarships for students of all nationalities

Housing support

Erasmus+

The European programme Erasmus+ supports student mobility to the institutions with which CNSMDL has already an Erasmus+ agreement, including all the CoPeCo partners. Please note that Erasmus+ scholarship covers one academic year (two semesters) maximum and you can apply for one even if you have already received an Erasmus scholarship during your undergraduate studies. You will receive a monthly subsistence grant plus a travel grant. You will need to apply for the scholarship in the spring preceding your exchange.

Explora Sup

Explora Sup bursaries are provided by the Rhône-Alpes Regional Authority to support student mobility. They can be granted in addition to those from the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. For non-Erasmus exchanges they can be the main source of financial assistance and can also be granted in addition to other forms of financial support.
The bursary is calculated from the average sum of 95 EUR a week over a number of weeks. The final amount of the bursary depends on the total sum available and the length of the study period. For holders of French state bursaries a fixed travel bursary of 530 EUR is also available.
There is a limit to the number of applications CNSMDL can present to the regional allocation committee. Selected candidates will need to fill in the online application on the website of the Regional Authority. Access codes will be provided by CNSMDL.
