Every year, it allows 15 doctorate students enrolled in American universities- to conduct research in France for 9 months. This program has two main goals :
|
- 1. To allow American doctorate students to benefit from an experience in a French University.
- 2. To develop Franco-American academic partnerships.
|
Chateaubriand recipients receive about 1300€/month, a round trip ticket to France, health insurance, and about 30 days per diem for travelling in France for research purposes.
|
The Chateaubriand Fellowship is highly competitive and the awarding of the fellowships is selective.
Factors considered in an evaluation of a candidate's application :
- curriculum vitae ; list of publications, and academic transcripts
