The time before opening registration for these scholarships can be invested in optimal preparation and acquiring skills that increase the chance of the applicant winning one of them. There are also a number of programs that teach English, especially for the undergraduate level, but most scholarships require applicants to have a full or at least proficiency in French and good enough knowledge.
