Helpful hint

It may be worthwhile to have an example to follow.

We have posted some examples of texts (in French and in English) that comply with the guidelines for internal scholarship competitions on the ÉTS website and in the online internal scholarship competition form. Consulting these examples before filling out your own form is strongly recommended, because non-compliant texts will be refused.

Some examples (e.g.: descriptions of research projects) may also be useful for other competitions.
