SCHOLARSHIPS

The Eiffel Scholarship Program is a tool developed by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to allow the best international students to benefit from mobility assistance in order to attend master and doctoral degree programs. Submit your application before October 31, 2023

At a master’s level, the scholarship is awarded for a period of :

• 12 months maximum when enrolling in M2 ;
• a maximum of 24 months for an M1 registration;

It is awarded on condition that the student has met the academic requirements for each year of the program.

Scholarship holders may continue to receive their scholarship during an internship of up to 25% of the total duration of the program, provided that it is a mandatory internship that is included in the program curriculum. In all other cases, the scholarship is interrupted for the duration of the internship.

If the program includes an international academic exchange, the scholarship will be interrupted for the period spent abroad.

The signing of an apprenticeship or professionalization contract by an Eiffel scholarship holder automatically leads to the termination of the scholarship.
