WELCOME TO THE “FIFA RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP” ONLINE APPLICATION FORM

It is mandatory that the request for a scholarship grant is submitted to CIES using the online application form. The application form must be filled out carefully and be completed with the requested supporting documentation. In particular, the “Research Project” (see section 4.2 of the Regulations) is a crucial document which is part of the supporting documentation, as it should convince the Selection Committee of the relevance and quality of the Research Project.
