The Partner University Fund (PUF)—a collaboration of the French government, American private donors, and the FACE Foundation—is dedicated to amplifying the potential of the brightest French and American scholars by supporting educational and research partnerships between higher education institutions in both countries. 

 

PUF awards support collaborations that foster international educational exchanges, create joint degree programs or training courses, or propose joint research projects. The Program encourages collaborations across all fields of study and supports training and research at Master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral levels. Partnerships forged between two or more American and French institutions are supported for 1 year and are renewable for a total period of 3 years.
