After Registration: By Decision of the General Administrator of Grenoble Institute of Technology
Given the very high level of demand and the strict eligibility criteria, and despite a firm commitment to social inclusion and a policy of internationalising its courses, Grenoble INP – UGA will only be able to approve a very limited number of applications for exemption from tuition fees and for financial support.
This is why it is essential to find out about sources of financial support available outside the institution (scholarships, student bank loans, etc.).
