Established by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the goal of the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme is to enable higher education establishments in France to attract top foreign students. This scholarship program welcomes applicants who are pursuing master’s and PhD coursework. The goal of this program is to help shape the future foreign decision-makers, both in the private and public sectors.
There are two branches of this scholarship program. One is the master’s branch, which funds courses lasting between twelve and thirty-six months. The other is the PhD branch, which offers funding for ten months in France through joint supervision or dual enrollment. Ideally, recipients of this scholarship will be in the second year of their PhD programs.
Applicants from all nations are invited to apply, including those from emerging and industrialized countries. There is no limitation on nationality, however, French students may not apply. Applicants should be studying in priority areas. These areas include Economics and Management, Engineering Sciences (at the Master’s level), Broad Sciences (PhD level), Law, or Political Sciences. Applicants pursuing an Engineering degree may receive the scholarship for a maximum of thirty-six months.
The French higher education establishments will preselect candidates and allow them to proceed to the online application on the Campus France website. If you are interested in applying, contact the International Relation departments of the school through their website, bye mail, or phone. Each institution will have more information. You may also contact the French embassy of your country to inquire. If your school of choice decides to support your application, you will receive the application form to complete.
Scholarships are awarded contingent on the fulfilment of the academic requirements of each year of the course. The scholarship may cover an internship lasting no more than twenty-five percent of the total duration of the course, but it must be an integral portion of the program of study and be considered mandatory. The scholarship finances a monthly stipend of €1,400, in addition to international return trips, social security coverage, cultural activities, and, in some conditions, housing allowances.
Applications and related materials must be submitted no later than January 12, 2018. Results of the scholarship committee’s decision will be posted the week of March 26, 2018.
