Excellence Fund For Education

The Excellence Fund for Education currently supports selected one year full time Master’s and research based graduate programs at a network of partner universities. Each institution defines which specific degrees are eligible (for example, certain Master’s in engineering, business, sustainability or data). Please consult the scholarship page of the university you are interested in to see which programs are included.

The application process is managed entirely by each partner university. In most cases, you must first apply to and be admitted (or close to admission) to an eligible program, then either complete a dedicated CMA CGM scholarship form or be automatically considered by the university’s selection committees. Timelines usually run from the autumn for program applications to the spring for scholarship decisions, but exact dates vary by institution. For precise deadlines and application steps, please refer to the university’s own scholarship webpage.

The CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Education is designed as a flexible framework that is implemented in partnership with each university. Within this common framework, the exact coverage and duration are defined jointly with each institution, so that the scholarship is aligned with their academic structure, cost of study, and student support systems. You should always refer to the university’s own scholarship page to understand how the CMA CGM Excellence Fund applies to your program and intake.

Selection is carried out by the partner universities, using their own academic and financial aid processes. In general, candidates are assessed on a combination of academic excellence, potential for impact, alignment with the values and goals of the program, and, where applicable, financial need or socio economic background. CMA CGM does not select individual students directly; instead, the company works with universities to define broad priorities and then receives the list of selected scholars once the university’s committees have made their decisions.

No. CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Education scholarships are only available at a selected network of partner universities, where the scholarship schemes are designed and implemented jointly with each institution. If you are studying at a university outside this network, you cannot receive a CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Education scholarship there, although you may still be eligible for other scholarships or financial aid offered by that university, by governments, or by other sponsors.
