New online procedure for applying for a foreign language development grant

The Department of Education, Youth and Sport of the Prince’s Government informs candidates looking to apply for a foreign language development grant for the 2023-2024 academic year that a new online procedure is now available via the MonGuichet.mc portal. This modernisation is the result of a collaboration with the Interministerial Delegation for Digital Transition as part of the Extended Monaco programme.

• Be a Monegasque national, the spouse of a Monegasque national, a foreign dependent of a Monegasque national, a foreign national or an orphan dependent on a civil servant, or a foreign national resident in Monaco for at least ten years. 

In order to be eligible, applicants in secondary education must attend an institution in the Principality when they submit their application, and the chosen language must be taught in a public or private educational institution in the Principality of Monaco. For applicants in higher education, the choice of language must be justified by their course.

Students in secondary education may choose from the following:

• Five stays – each lasting between two weeks and two months (outside school time);
• An unlimited number of stays for students who have taken the “International Option”, “Additional English”, and “European Section” courses - each lasting between two weeks and two months. 

Students in higher education may choose from the following: 

• One or two short stays – each lasting between two weeks and two months;
• One long stay - lasting between two months and one year.
