The Chateaubriand fellowship program allows young scholars to broaden their experience and networks by spending several months at a French higher-education institution. The fellows will be able to engage in dissertation research and interact with a French mentor and scholars.

We offer two types of fellowships:

• Fall Fellowship, 4 months
• Spring Fellowship, 4 months

Benefits

• Monthly allowance (currently 1704 euros/month, it cannot be combined with other French State-funded fellowships like Fulbright during the duration of your stay in France)
• Round-trip airfare between the U.S. and France only, booked exclusively by Campus France Paris (no reimbursement available). Flights are covered up to 1,410€, provided your travel dates align closely with your program schedule — arriving no earlier than the day before your convention begins and departing no later than the day after it ends. If you choose to extend your stay beyond those dates, due to French State-funded fellowship regulations, the round-trip airfare cannot be funded.
• Health insurance for the duration of the fellowship
