Charpak Scholarship 2023

The Charpak scholarship program was launched by the French Embassy in India to assist Indian students who wish to study for a two-year Master’s degree in France. The Charpak Scholarship was established in honour of French scientist Georges Charpak (1924–2010), who received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physics. This scholarship is meant for one to two years of master’s-level study in France (September to June), for all streams and subjects of study.
