The Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia implements the French Government Scholarship Programme (France Excellence) among which are the (Séjours Scientifiques de Haut Niveau (SSHN)).
Addressed to academic and research staff wishing to spend some time in a higher education or research institution in France, the SSHN also aim to be a tool to increase the cooperation with French institutions.
In 2024, the available budget should enable the Embassy of France three scientific visits of one month each, but the number of visits funded may be higher, depending on the available budget, the duration of the visits and/or potential co-financing obtained by the applicants.
The scholarship includes a round-trip air ticket, a monthly allowance (young researcher: 425 euros/week; senior researcher: 500 euros/week), health and repatriation insurance, and the visa fees. Accommodation can be booked through Campus France Paris. The rent would be then deducted from the grant.
