NEOMA Business School offers 10+ scholarships, of which 6 are directly accessible to Indian applicants. The highest single waiver caps at €10,500 (INR 11.24 Lakhs) via the NEOMA Excellence Scholarship.

  • Standard MiM tuition: €36,000 (INR 38.52 Lakhs) across two years
  • MiM after the NEOMA Excellence Scholarship: €25,500 (INR 27.29 Lakhs)
  • MiM with Excellence Scholarship stacked on Charpak stipend: net two-year cost close to €18,500 (INR 19.80 Lakhs) after living-cost coverage
  • Next hard deadline: 28 June 2026 for the MiM September 2026 intake

Currency Note: All INR conversions use the live rate of 1 EUR = INR 107 as of June 2026. Every NEOMA award below is a direct tuition waiver applied to your invoice, not a cash disbursement.


NEOMA Business School Scholarships for UG Students

ScholarshipAmountEligibilityDeadline
Global BBA Excellence Scholarship Up to €4,000 per year (INR 4.28 Lakhs) Top academic scorers admitted to the Global BBA; interview performance factored End of June 2026 (tentative, aligned with intake cut-off)
Global BBA Merit Award €2,000 to €3,000 per year (INR 2.14 to 3.21 Lakhs) Class 12 board score above 85% or IB score of 34 and above End of June 2026 (tentative)
Emerging Countries Discount (Global BBA) 10% to 20% tuition reduction Nationals of India and other emerging economies on the Campus France list Rolling; tentative March 2027 for early-bird tier

Global BBA tuition sits at €13,500 per year (INR 14.45 Lakhs) across the four-year programme. That works out to €56,000 (INR 59.92 Lakhs) full-cycle before any scholarship is applied. The Excellence Scholarship trims first-year tuition by roughly 30% for top-ranked admits.

Merit awards layer on top of the Emerging Countries Discount when both criteria apply. A high scorer from India can therefore see close to €5,500 (INR 5.89 Lakhs) shaved off Year 1 alone. All three awards are assessed automatically from the admission file, so no separate essay is required.

NEOMA Business School Scholarships for PG / Master’s Students

ScholarshipAmountEligibilityDeadline
NEOMA Excellence Scholarship Up to €10,500 (INR 11.24 Lakhs) Automatic review at admission for MiM and MSc candidates with strong academics and GMAT / GRE performance 28 June 2026 for MiM September intake; mid-July 2026 for MSc programmes (tentative)

MSc Luxury Management Diversity Scholarship €3,000 to €5,000 (INR 3.21 to 5.35 Lakhs) International candidates from outside the EU with underrepresented professional backgrounds End of August 2026 for October intake

The Excellence Scholarship is the headline offer for master’s candidates at NEOMA. A €10,500 (INR 11.24 Lakhs) waiver on the €36,000 (INR 38.52 Lakhs) MiM cuts the effective invoice to €25,500 (INR 27.29 Lakhs). Applicants are screened during the standard admission interview, so no separate scholarship essay is required.

MSc International Finance sits at €22,500 (INR 24.08 Lakhs) total. The Excellence waiver brings that down to €12,000 (INR 12.84 Lakhs) for top-tier candidates. MSc Luxury Management is priced at €24,500 (INR 26.22 Lakhs), where the Diversity Scholarship can trim up to €5,000 (INR 5.35 Lakhs).

Reddit Insight: Indian MiM applicants posting on r/MBA report GMAT scores in the 640 to 690 range secured partial merit awards of €3,000 to €5,000. A 700+ score consistently correlated with the full Excellence tier over the 2024 and 2025 cycles.

India-Specific Scholarships at NEOMA Business School

ScholarshipAmountEligibilityDeadline
NEOMA India Merit Award €2,000 to €7,000 (INR 2.14 to 7.49 Lakhs) Indian passport holders admitted to MiM or any MSc; case-by-case allocation via the India office Mid-July 2026 (tentative, tied to intake round)
Emerging Countries Scholarship 10% to 25% tuition reduction Indian nationals across Global BBA, MiM and MSc programmes; academic merit weighted Rolling; tentative mid-July 2026
NEOMA Alumni Referral Discount (India) €1,000 (INR 1.07 Lakhs) Referral from a verified NEOMA alumnus currently based in India Application-linked; no fixed cut-off

The India Merit Award is coordinated through Shekhar Surti, NEOMA’s India Office Manager. Candidates flag interest during the interview stage or by direct email to the India office. Award sizes track your rank within the Indian applicant pool for that intake.

An Indian MiM candidate can stack three awards to save close to €17,000 (INR 18.19 Lakhs). The mix combines Excellence Scholarship (€10,500), a 15% Emerging Countries Discount (roughly €5,400) and the Alumni Referral (€1,000). Two-year invoice then drops from €36,000 to under €19,000 (INR 20.33 Lakhs).


NEOMA Business School PhD Scholarships

ScholarshipAmountEligibilityDeadline
NEOMA PhD Fellowship Full tuition waiver of €15,000 per year (INR 16.05 Lakhs) plus €1,500 per month living stipend Accepted PhD candidates; ranked internally by the faculty admissions panel Tentative December 2026 for October 2027 intake (the 2026 cycle has closed)
NEOMA Doctoral Research Grant €3,000 to €6,000 per year (INR 3.21 to 6.42 Lakhs) Second and third-year PhD scholars with an active publication pipeline Rolling; internal application through the doctoral office
DBA Executive Sponsorship 10% to 20% tuition reduction on the €45,000 (INR 48.15 Lakhs) programme Senior executives producing employer or self-sponsorship documentation End of September 2026 for October 2026 intake

The NEOMA PhD Fellowship is fully funded, unlike the DBA, which is a paid executive programme. Fellowship holders receive the tuition waiver plus a monthly stipend. Out-of-pocket costs therefore cover only living expenses in Reims or Rouen.

Reims studio rent typically runs €450 to €600 per month (INR 48,150 to 64,200), well inside the €1,500 stipend. That leaves headroom for food, transport and academic conference travel. Indian PhD applicants should target the December 2026 intake round for the fullest funding shortlist.


External Government Scholarships for NEOMA Business School Applicants

ScholarshipAmountEligibilityDeadline
Charpak Scholarship (Master’s) €700 per month stipend (INR 74,900), plus visa fee waiver and health insurance Indian nationals under 30 admitted to a French Master’s programme Tentative March 2026 for September 2026 intake (Campus France India)
Charpak Research Internship €700 per month for 2 to 4 months (INR 1.5 to 3 Lakhs total) Indian students in a Master’s programme placed at a French research lab Tentative March 2026 (annual)
Eiffel Excellence Scholarship €1,181 per month for Master’s (INR 1.26 Lakhs); €1,700 per month for PhD (INR 1.82 Lakhs) Nominated by NEOMA; academic distinction plus research potential Internal nomination round; tentative early January 2026
Ile-de-France Regional Scholarship €10,500 per year (INR 11.24 Lakhs) Students enrolled at the NEOMA Paris campus with household income below the regional threshold Tentative March 2027 for the 2027-28 academic year
Erasmus Mundus Joint Master €1,400 per month living costs, full tuition cover and €1,000 travel grant Applicants to eligible EMJM programmes; NEOMA participates in select consortia Tentative mid-February 2026 (varies by consortium)

The Charpak Scholarship is the flagship pathway for Indian students headed to France. It is administered by Campus France in New Delhi and layers cleanly on top of any NEOMA tuition waiver. Recipients also get a €99 visa fee waiver and CVEC health insurance top-up.

Eiffel operates through nomination only. NEOMA sends a small internal shortlist to the French ministry, so direct applications are not accepted. Signal your interest to the admissions team by early December 2025 for the January 2026 nomination window.

Charpak recipients typically combine the stipend with these NEOMA awards for the strongest financial position:

  • NEOMA Excellence Scholarship for the tuition offset of up to €10,500 (INR 11.24 Lakhs)
  • India Merit Award for topping up living costs by €2,000 to €7,000 (INR 2.14 to 7.49 Lakhs)
  • Alumni Referral Discount if you know a NEOMA graduate willing to endorse your file

Reddit Insight: Indian threads on r/IWantOut and r/StudyAbroad flag that Charpak accepted roughly 400 to 500 Indian Master’s applicants nationally across 2024. NEOMA students made up a small but rising slice. Applicants with a France-specific SOP and a clear return-plan narrative reported the highest shortlist rates.

NEOMA Business School Scholarships: Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. What is the maximum funding an Indian MiM applicant can stack at NEOMA Business School?

Ans. Indian MiM applicants can stack four awards to bring the net two-year cost close to €12,100 (INR 12.95 Lakhs). NEOMA Excellence Scholarship contributes €10,500 (INR 11.24 Lakhs) and the Emerging Countries Discount adds around €5,400 (INR 5.78 Lakhs) at a 15% cut.

Alumni Referral chips in €1,000 (INR 1.07 Lakhs) more. The Charpak Scholarship covers €7,000 (INR 7.49 Lakhs) of living costs over 10 months, though it does not touch tuition directly.

Ques. When should Indian applicants apply to lock in the best NEOMA scholarship shot?

Ans. Apply in Round 1 before 31 March 2026 for the September 2026 intake. That timing secures the Early Bird Discount and places you in the largest scholarship funding pool of the cycle.

Rolling rounds run until 28 June 2026 for the MiM, but by Round 4 the Excellence Scholarship budget is often thin. Charpak has its own tentative March 2026 deadline through Campus France India.

Ques. Do I need to submit a separate scholarship application at NEOMA?

Ans. No separate form is required for the NEOMA Excellence Scholarship, Merit Scholarship, Emerging Countries Discount or Early Bird Discount. All four are assessed automatically from your admission application and interview.

The India Merit Award is coordinated by the India office and may need a brief email flagging your interest. External awards like Charpak and Eiffel require standalone applications through Campus France or the French ministry portal.

Ques. What GPA or GMAT do Indian applicants typically need for the Excellence Scholarship?

Ans. Indian MiM candidates who secured the full €10,500 Excellence Scholarship in recent intakes usually had undergraduate CGPA above 8.0 out of 10 or 75%+ marks. GMAT scores landed in the 680 to 720 band with IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL iBT 100 and above.

For MSc International Finance, a stronger finance background and a quantitative undergrad offset a slightly lower GMAT. There is no published cut-off, so the bar shifts each cycle.

Ques. Does the Charpak Scholarship cover NEOMA tuition or only living costs?

Ans. Charpak does not pay tuition. It covers a €700 per month (INR 74,900) living stipend for up to 10 months. Recipients also receive a €99 visa fee waiver and CVEC health insurance registration.

Charpak holders receive priority support for on-campus housing in Reims, Rouen or Paris. Pair the stipend with the NEOMA Excellence Scholarship to cover tuition and living costs together.

Ques. Will these scholarships cover rent in Reims, Rouen or Paris?

Ans. The Charpak stipend of €700 per month covers rent in Reims and Rouen. Studio apartments in both cities run €450 to €600 per month (INR 48,150 to 64,200).

Paris rent starts at €900 per month (INR 96,300) for a studio, so Charpak alone falls short. Paris-campus students should pair Charpak with the Ile-de-France Regional Scholarship (€10,500 per year / INR 11.24 Lakhs) to close the gap.

Ques. How does the NEOMA India Merit Award pick its recipients?

Ans. Selection is handled jointly by the India office and the central admissions committee. There is no fixed public rubric.

Three signals surface most across past cycles. Rank within the Indian applicant pool for that intake carries first weight. Professional experience quality and intent to return to India follow next.

Award amounts range from €2,000 to €7,000 (INR 2.14 to 7.49 Lakhs). Decisions are usually communicated inside the formal admission letter, not in a separate email.
