The ARES International Training Scholarships 2027–2028 fund mid-career professionals from 32 partner countries (over 20 in Africa) to complete a one-year specialised bachelor's/master's degree or a six-month continuing education course at French-speaking Belgian higher education institutions, covering airfare, a monthly subsistence allowance, insurance, and visa costs. Applications must be submitted free of charge via the GIRAF platform by 18 September 2026 (account creation by 4 September 2026), with applicants required to show at least two years of relevant professional experience and an employer's re-employment commitment.
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis against the criteria below. SAIGE captures your intent to apply — linking this opportunity to your business profile — before handing you off to Académie de Recherche et d'Enseignement Supérieur (ARES)’s official application. This keeps your activity in one place and helps us surface better matches over time.
