Designed to support the next generation of young leaders with a strong interest in the transatlantic relationship, the Lafayette Fellowship will fund one year of master’s-level study in France for up to 30 outstanding American students.
Open to both Francophone and non-Francophone candidates, the program partners with leading French academic institutions across STEM, humanities, social sciences, and the arts, with courses taught in French or in English.
In addition to their academic studies, fellows will also join the French-American Leadership Program – a year-long series of lectures, master classes, site visits, and mentorship – offering full immersion in European innovation, culture, and policy.
The program aims to deepen academic and cultural exchange between France and the U.S. and nurture future leaders.
Application deadline: November 30, 2025, 11:59 p.m. ET. Learn more on the website.
