External scholarships
Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme
The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme, established by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, aims to attract top foreign students to enrol in Masters and PhD programmes at French higher education institutions.
This prestigious scholarship provides unique opportunities for future foreign decision-makers in both the private and public sectors, in priority areas of study.
It encourages applications from students up to 25 years old from developing countries at the Master’s level, and applicants up to 30 years old from developing and industrialised countries at the PhD level.
Other aids and scholarships
Many students seek financial assistance in their home country, where a limited number of grants are funded by the government, public institutions, or even private actors.
Campus Bourses provides useful information about these opportunities on their website. International students are encouraged to contact Campus France in their home countries to inquire about scholarships granted by the French government.
