Ward of the Nation (Pupille de la Nation) is a French civil status with certain attendant rights allocated by the State to those who have a parent who was injured or killed in war, or (since the November 2015 Paris attacks) during a terrorist incident, or while carrying out certain public services. Partly symbolic as "adoptees of the Nation" and partly remunerative, it goes beyond and is not to be confused with a Ward of the State, which in France is a minor person, such as an orphan, under the care and responsibility of the French state.^[1]

It is administered by the National Office of Wards of the Nation ^[fr], created by the  ^[fr][2] and is part of the French Ministry of National Education.
