Explore funding
Scholarships & financial support
Research institution awards and official French funding calls. Verify who submits the application, nationality and study-level restrictions and the costs covered. A scholarship nomination and a final award are different stages.
Record each award’s deadline, documents, coverage and renewal conditions. Keep a workable plan for costs that an award does not cover.

Student visa & residence guidance
Campus France Pakistan describes the long-stay student visa route and the Études en France pre-consular stage, including exceptions. Check the latest France-Visas checklist and required admission, financial and accommodation evidence; admission does not itself authorise travel or residence.
Use the current official instructions for your nationality, programme and place of application. Admission and immigration decisions are made separately. Nexo can help you organise your questions and preparation; the relevant authority decides the application.

Plan beyond the classroom
Work during study & graduate options
Read the work conditions attached to your student status and the separate conditions for any post-study permission. Do not assume a general European work entitlement applies to a French student visa.
Build your study budget around available funds. A possible future job should not be treated as confirmed funding.

Before you apply
Questions about studying in France
Can I apply with Pakistani qualifications?
Your institution assesses the level, subjects and grades of your qualification. Share your academic history with Nexo, then check the exact course’s published criteria and any recognition or preparatory requirements.
Which language test should I prepare for?
Confirm whether teaching is in French or English and what proficiency evidence the course requires.
Check admission and visa requirements before booking a test.
How much should I budget?
Request an up-to-date tuition quotation for your chosen course and campus. Add living expenses, insurance, application and visa charges, travel and a contingency. Review the costs section above and confirm financial-evidence requirements with the authority.
Is a scholarship or visa guaranteed?
No. Scholarships have their own eligibility and selection processes, and the immigration authority decides visa applications. An admission offer does not guarantee funding, permission to work or a visa.
