2026 marks a special year for French-Korean friendship. As part of the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and South Korea, IÉSEG and Campus France South Korea are launching a co-funded scholarship program aimed at South Korean students with a proven record of academic excellence.

140 years of friendship and a future-oriented partnership

Led by the French Embassy in Korea alongside a hundred French and Korean partners, this celebration covers all areas of the bilateral relationship, including culture, education, economy, and science. Education lies at the heart of this initiative, with the goal of strengthening academic exchanges between France and South Korea.

In this context, IÉSEG and Campus France South Korea have established this scholarship program to help top South Korean students access renowned management education in France. It is a tangible way to celebrate this milestone year by bringing together the talent and ambitions of both nations.

A unique opportunity for South Korean talent

The primary objective is to reduce financial barriers, enabling top-tier profiles to join IÉSEG. This program is designed for students driven by a strong culture of academic excellence, granting them access to recognized management training within an international environment.

Joining IÉSEG means entering a school renowned for the quality of its programs, backed by international accreditations and strong ties to the corporate world. It is also an opportunity to experience an academic and personal journey abroad in a multicultural setting where students from all over the world connect, allowing participants to develop a French-Korean bicultural background that will be highly valuable throughout their careers.
