About Total s International Scholarship Program Total s International Scholarship Program is based on partnerships with leading universities in host countries.

A Worldwide Network of more than 500 students A network cemented with the appointment of ambassadors. Selected from among previous scholars who have returned to their home countries, the ambassadors lead the network of former scholars and keep track of their career paths. They are the main contacts for Total s subsidiaries and representative offices. They keep up to date with events organized by Total in their country and invite other former scholars to attend. The ambassadors also suggest and organize their own events in cooperation with Total. They also brief new scholars about schooling and life in France before their departure.
