Morocco’s Education Ministry has opened applications for free round trip air tickets for Moroccan students called to sit oral exams in France for entry to leading French engineering and business schools in the 2025 to 2026 academic year.

The measure applies to students enrolled in, or having completed, the second year of Morocco’s preparatory classes for grandes écoles, known as CPGE, who have qualified for oral exams in competitions linked to schools eligible for Moroccan merit scholarships.

The programme covers business school exams through BCE and Ecricome, as well as engineering school competitions including X ENS, CentraleSupélec, Mines Ponts, CCINP and Arts et Métiers. Candidates admitted to the CCINP common competition must have obtained at least 13.5 out of 20 to qualify for transport support.

Applications must be submitted through the “Concours français” section of the CPGE portal by Tuesday, June 9, at 2 p.m. Students who already completed the CF26 form must answer “yes” to the question on whether they are requesting a free ticket from the ministry.

Preselected lists will be published on the eCPGE portal from Wednesday, June 10. Final access to the ticket request will depend on validation of the final lists.

A special commission will select beneficiaries based on the ranking of eligible schools and candidates’ written exam results. A draw may be used where files cannot otherwise be ranked.

Selected students must confirm acceptance within 48 hours, then enter travel dates from June 17, at least four working days before departure. The operation ends no later than July 31.
