TUITION FEES

Students are required to contribute to the cost of the training by way of annual tuition fees:

• 5,500 for each of the first two years,
• 950 for each of the following years.

FINANCIAL AID

HEC provides financial support for all its PhD students as scholarships. This means that during the first four years annual tuition fees are lowered to € 240.

HEC Foundation bursaries
The HEC Foundation was created in 1972 by the HEC Graduates Association in order to promote management sciences. Together with the HEC group, they grant merit-based scholarships to students in the form of:

• 15 000€ (specialization year)
• 12 000€ (dissertation 3 years)

The previous financial supports are complemented with HEC research and teaching assistantships available to all doctorate students.

Financial aid from the French government
Non-French students can, in addition to the financial aid for which they are eligible in their country of origin, seek grants from the French government (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Requests should be sent to the Cultural Department of the French Embassy in the student’s country of origin. These students can also request European exchange program grants (Socrates, Erasmus, Tacis, Phare) French nationality students: where they fulfill the French Ministry of National Education’s allocation criteria.

Other types of funding can be obtained to encourage education abroad during the thesis preparation period (Fulbright, Lavoisier, European programs).
