Description
The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme was established
by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development to
enable French higher education establishments to attract top foreign students
to enroll in their master’s and Ph.D. courses. It helps to shape the future
foreign decision-makers of the private and public sectors, in priority areas of
study and encourages applications from emerging countries at master’s level,
and from emerging and industrialized countries at Ph.D. level.
Eiffel scholarships are available in three main fields:

broadest sense at Ph.D. level (engineering science; exact sciences:
mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences, nano- and biotechnology,

and communication science, and technology);
Economics and management;
Law and political sciences.
For Ph.D. level studies, The Eiffel scholarship is
awarded for a maximum of ten months. For scientific and economic disciplines,
no language course is provided for and the scholarship duration cannot be
divided up. For law students, the ten-month scholarship can, with the consent
of the selection committee, be split into two or three stays in France, of
three or four months each. These stays must take place over a maximum of three
calendar years. Only law students have the option of taking French lessons
alongside their studies. This must be clearly requested in the application.
