KEDGE Business School International Scholarship

KEDGE Business School is a triple-accredited French grande école of management with main campuses in Bordeaux and Marseille, well known for supply chain management, wine and spirits management, finance, and international business, and offering a broad range of English-taught MSc programmes. As a fee-charging private school, KEDGE awards merit-based tuition scholarships that provide partial reductions to strong international applicants, based on academic record and the quality of the application. For Sri Lankan graduates targeting an internationally accredited business Master's in France — with access to the post-study APS work permit afterwards — KEDGE is a solid option, particularly for supply chain and operations, where it is genuinely one of Europe's stronger schools. Keep it honest: the scholarships are partial, not full, so plan for the remaining tuition plus French living costs, and compare against fully-funded public-university, Eiffel, or Erasmus Mundus routes. Scholarship amounts and deadlines vary by programme and intake round, so verify the specifics for your chosen MSc.

Academic + Application Merit

Scholarships are awarded on your Bachelor's results and the strength of your application (essays, references, and where relevant GMAT/GRE). A strong profile competes for larger reductions; earlier rounds help.

English Proficiency

English-taught programmes require IELTS/TOEFL (typically IELTS ~6.5) or an English-medium degree; a Sri Lankan MOI letter can evidence English-medium study. French is not required for English-taught MScs.
