Complete your application and request an in-person appointment with the Consulate (within the applicable deadline) for in-person submission of your completed application. The consulate will not accept applications and documents sent electronically.

  • Apply for Lycée Financial Aid. Please note that French families should apply for French Government and Lycée Financial Aid at the same time, and both applications must be completed in full for consideration. The Lycée Financial Aid Committee will not complete your application review until a formal response to your application-- either an award or a rejection--is issued by the French Consulate.

Visit the “Lycée Financial Aid” section to view the steps to apply for Lycée Financial Aid.

Step Three: Submit Consulate Decision Letter to the Lycée

Each applicant family will receive a letter from the French government stating either the amount of aid to be provided by the French government or the reason for rejection. Such a letter must be provided to the Lycée in addition to the package submitted to Blackbaud Financial Aid Management (BBFAM) in order to become eligible for Lycée financial aid.
