The Eiffel Scholarship Program initiated by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs aims to assist French higher education institutions in their efforts to select the best foreign students for their masters and doctoral programs.
Its aims are (i) to train future foreign decision-makers in the private and public spheres in priority areas of study and (ii) to attract applicants from developing and industrialized countries to the level of French masters and doctoral programs.

| Eiffel Scholarships for Master & PhD in France |
The two Eiffel scholarship areas are available in the following seven areas:
• SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
- Biology and health
- Ecological transition
- Math and digital
- Science and engineering
• HUMAN AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
- French history, language and civilization
- Legal and political science
- Economics and management
French institutions that nominate candidates for the Eiffel scholarship Program to commit to accepting them for:
• master's degree program
• engineering program
• joint doctoral program (co-guided dissertation and/or double degree), partnering with partner institutions abroad.
The period of funded study must begin between September 1 and December 31 of the year in which the scholarship is awarded. The start date cannot be postponed. Scholarships are for study in France only, except in certain cases involving internships and exchange periods, as further explained.
Master Component
Scholarships are awarded for:
• maximum 12 months for scholarship recipients entering the second year of the master's program (M2)
• a maximum of 24 months for scholarship recipients entering the first year of the master's program (M1)
• a maximum of 36 months for scholarship recipients entering the engineering program.
If the scholarship recipient wishes to take an intensive language course prior to starting academic activities, the duration of the Eiffel scholarship can be extended for a maximum of two months, provided that the need for extension is clearly indicated in the application. The Eiffel Scholarship does not cover the cost of the language course.
Internships should be an integral part of the curriculum leading to the degree. Completing it should be a degree requirement. How the internship is assessed for purposes that count towards the degree should be spelled out in the degree program description. Recipients must obtain permission from their academic advisor to enter the internship. For purposes of the Eiffel Program scholarship, an internship agreement must be submitted to Campus France at least one week before the start date of the internship.
Doctoral Component
The Eiffel Scholarship is awarded for a maximum of 12 months in France. With the approval of the committee the scholarship can be divided into a maximum of three terms in France, none of which is less than 4 months. Under no circumstances should the scholarship period exceed 24 months, including time spent outside France.
Only law scholarship students can undergo French language training in parallel with their academic work. Permission to do so must be requested explicitly in the application. If the permission is not explicitly requested in the application, it will not be granted later.
Facility
The Eiffel Scholarship for masters consists of a monthly stipend of €1,181 (a maintenance allowance of €1,031 plus an allowance of €150). The Eiffel Scholarship for doctoral includes a monthly stipend of €1,700 (since January 1, 2021). In addition, it also facilitates:

For Masters and Doctoral
- To receive the first part of their scholarship, students must have started their academic program at the host institution in France.

Any candidate nominated by more than one institution will be disqualified.
Targeted academic level. Only programs recognized by the French government are eligible. The Eiffel program cannot be used on French-run programs abroad or in connection with internship contracts or professional training contracts.
Scholarship conflict. Applications nominating students who, at the time of application, have been awarded another French government scholarship will not be accepted, although the other scholarships only cover health insurance.
Master Components. Applications submitted by students who were rejected in the previous competition will not be accepted, even if the application is submitted by a different institution or other field of study. Students who have previously received an Eiffel masters scholarship are not allowed to receive another at the masters level.
Doctoral Component. Institutions may nominate for doctoral scholarships candidates who previously received scholarships at masters level. Candidates previously awarded a doctoral scholarship are not eligible to receive another doctorate. Doctoral candidate applications rejected in previous competitions will not be accepted, even if the application is submitted by a different institution or other field of study.
Language skill. When selecting non-French speaking candidates, institutions must ensure that the candidate's language skills meet the requirements of the academic program.
Geographical location. Masters level: Candidates already studying in France are not accepted. Doctoral Level: Students enrolled in academic programs abroad have priority over students already in France.

Admin notes:
Indeed, time was not possible to register for a French university until it was accepted and then asked to be nominated for an Eiffel scholarship. At a minimum, this article can be information material for you to prepare if you want to register next year. Given the opportunity to apply for this scholarship only once. Those who have been rejected, there will be no hope of being accepted later, as mentioned above. So it takes maximum preparation in advance.
