Neat find. Their brochure states: 57% Scholarship Provided for the GCC Nationals & Residents
GCC are gulf states, FWIW. (Meaning Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc; not Alabama and Mississippi)

RE: ESC Clermont Business School DBA - smartdegree - 03-10-2023
Pros: It is a Grandes Ecole - a member of the elite institutions of France.
AMBA and AACSB accreditation for the school.
Price is good for a Grandes Ecole degree.
Cons:
It is one of the bottom-ranked Grandes Ecoles. Basically, the worst of the best.
Grandes Ecoles (even the best ones like ESCP) are notorious for issuing many types of degrees/diplomas, some of which are accredited and some which are unaccredited. You would need to ask if the degree being offered is officially accredited by the French government. Otherwise, the qualification is similar to a "titulo propio".

Another viewpoint is that if the goal is to obtain a DBA from a top European B-school, a school ranked between 90-100 by FT could be a good option, even if it's not in the top 10 or 20?
2, I agree that it's important to determine whether the DBA degree is officially accredited by the French government. It would be helpful if someone could confirm whether accreditation by the French government is necessary for the DBA degree to be recognized in France, considering that Clermont is AACSB accredited.

@durian:
Did you apply / enroll? Did you find out anything further about this program?
I saw that ESC Clermont is not also pushing the DBA program directly (at much higher tuition), so I am curious...
Thanks for sharing your experience!

RE: ESC Clermont Business School DBA - durain - 08-02-2023
Just received this email about scholarship which could reduce the tuition by 27% :
We are pleased to inform you that we have set up a scholarship system, the DBA Scholarship, which will enable you to obtain a financial aid of €3,000 per year. This grant will be deducted from your annual tuition fees.
To apply for the DBA Scholarship, the process is very simple:
You must submit an application for the DBA program on our platform as described below.
After submitting your application, you should send a letter of motivation to apply for the DBA Scholarship addressed to Dr. Marc LECOUTRE by email to international@esc-clermont.fr (please include "Application for the DBA Scholarship" in the subject line of the email).
Please note: This letter must be different from the letter of motivation to join the program, which will be included in your application, and must explain the reasons why you are applying for a scholarship.
You will receive a reply within 10 days after having completed these two steps.
As a reminder, here is some practical information about the program:
Teaching program : Doctorate of Business Administration
Length of program: 3 years
Teaching method : Distance learning
Language of instruction : English for all core modules / French or English for all individual work, including thesis writing and defense
