EIFFEL
SCHOLARSHI​PS IN FRANCE FOR INTERNATIO​NAL STUDENTS

The Eiffel France Scholarships are for international students wishing to study in France. The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme in January 1999 to support French centres of higher education in their international  outreach initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among  developed countries, to attract elite overseas students on master's,  engineering and  PhD courses.  It aims to attract outstanding  international students identified by French institutions of higher  education.



French Universities and Academic Institutions
The areas of study concerned by the Eiffel scholarships are:
• engineering sciences at Master level, sciences in a broader sense for  PhD level (engineering sciences, exact sciences such as mathematics,  physics, chemistry and life sciences, nano- and bio-technology, earth  and environmental sciences and information and communication  sciences and technology)
•  economics and management
•  law and political sciences
The Eiffel France Scholarships are for excellent international students from any country.
The Eiffel programme does not cover tuition fees, though the higher  education centres concerned are invited to apply the best possible  financial conditions to Eiffel scholarship-holders.  Enrolment fees at  state-run higher education centres are waived for students on French  government scholarship programmes such as this.
Eiffel  scholarship-holders on Master's courses receive an allowance of €1,181.  In addition, the programme meets various expenses including return trip, health insurance and cultural activities. Scholarship-holders might  also be eligible for additional accommodation allowance.
Eiffel  scholarship-holders on PhD courses receive an allowance of €1,400. In  addition, the programme meets various expenses including return travel  (single return trip for law and political science students on multiple  stays), health insurance and cultural activities. Scholarship-holders  might also be eligible for additional accommodation allowance.
French higher education establishments shortlist the best overseas students  whom they wish to enrol in their courses for Eiffel scholarships.
You are eligible for a scholarship if you are enrolled in a course awarding a Master or in colleges awarding an engineering science diploma or  a PhD course as part of a jointly tutored or jointly supervised thesis  with a foreign higher education establishment partner.
Applicants  for Master courses must be no more  than 30 years old at the deadline  date for the selection committee of the 8th March 2013 (i.e. born after  08/ 03/1982) and no more than 35 years old for the PhD courses (i.e.  born after 08/03/1977)
