Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Programme

French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs · France

All scholarships

What it covers

A monthly allowance, international travel, health insurance and cultural activities. Tuition is not paid by the programme, though fees at French public institutions are low.

Who can apply

Non-French nationals, including Bangladeshis, under the programme's age limits, applying for a master's or a doctorate at a French higher education institution. Candidates cannot apply directly — the institution nominates them.

How to apply

  1. Choose a French institution and programme, and apply for admission there.
  2. Ask the international office whether they will put you forward for Eiffel, and note their internal deadline.
  3. Supply the institution with your file: transcripts, CV, motivation letter and project.
  4. The institution submits the application to Campus France; results are published in the spring.

Documents you will need

  • Transcripts and degree certificates
  • CV
  • Motivation letter
  • Research or study project
  • Proof of nationality and date of birth
  • French or English language evidence as the programme requires

Tips from successful applicants

  • Everything depends on finding an institution willing to nominate you, so contact international offices early in the autumn.
  • The age limits are strict and are checked on the campaign's reference date.
  • Being nominated is not being selected; the national jury makes the final decision.
