Scholarships and Mobility Grants

Study Scholarship

CyberSchool offers a scholarship opportunity to students enrolled in cybersecurity programmes at partner institutions: CentraleSupélec, IMT Atlantique, INSA Rennes, and the University of Rennes (Master’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity track and Master’s in Mathematics and Applications – IT Mathematics and Cryptography).

This scholarship is granted based on the quality of the students’ academic and extracurricular background and is open to all applicants. No separate application form is needed; you are automatically eligible for the scholarship, as soon as you apply for one of the cybersecurity programmes offered by the aforementioned partners. Each institution forms a committee that appoints the scholarship recipients.

The CyberSchool study scholarship is a single payment that is provided at the beginning of the first academic year.

This scholarship is exclusively for students in initial training and work-study programmes.
