Eiffel scholarship from France

print

The EIFFEL scholarship scheme from the French Government
 
The French government provides grants and scholarships above and beyond the automatic aid enjoyed by all students in France, such as, for instance, the EIFFEL scholarships (more on candidature).
 
Schools will explore such financing for you once your application has been reviewed for completeness and accuracy.
 
Attention : EIFFEL scholarships are awarded for specific programmes having a specific timetable for completion. If you want to apply you must have completed your “electronic” file and sent your “paper” file in session 1.
 
The EIFFEL scholarship programme, launched in January 1999 by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supports the efforts of French academic institutions to recruit outstanding foreign students. Complete information is available from EGIDE website
 
SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT
 
The scholarship’s base allowance is € 1 181 per month in 2008.
 
IMPORTANT : The EIFFEL Scholarship is managed, on behalf the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by EGIDE: air flight tickets, welcome, transfer to the centre for French courses, and French courses (linguistic package) and finally the transfer to the engineering school in September.
 
The EIFFEL scholarship does not cover neither tuition fees (which must be paid directly by the student), nor specific programmes for integration such as proposed by the “n+I” network. These packages, if they are booked by the student, should be paid directly by him/her.
  
TRAVEL PROVISIONS
 
Recipients’ travel to France is paid by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only beneficiaries residing abroad at the time of their selection are eligible for this form of travel assistance. Recipients must contact EGIDE to arrange for travel.
Students must inform EGIDE that they must arrive in Paris during the periods specified by “n+i”.
 
BACKGROUND OF CANDIDATES
 
EIFFEL scholarships are awarded to students enrolled in postgraduate degree programmes (such as the masters of "n+i").
 
ELIGIBILITY FOR CANDIDATES
 
Only foreign citizens are eligible for EIFFEL scholarships. (French citizens who also hold another citizenship are not eligible.) Applicants from emerging countries have priority.
The EIFFEL programme favours applications from candidates already studying abroad. It encourages applications from students who have already earned a first academic degree.
 
Case of eligibility
Candidates must be no older than 30 in the year of their selection.
 
Selection criteria
 
The jury takes three criteria into account:
  • The candidate’s excellence as evidence by his or her previous academic record.
  • The international policy of the institution proposing the application (actions in that field, suitability of the proposed application).
  • The cooperation policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, notably the geographic priority given to emerging countries.
 
The jury’s deliberations are not recorded or published. Its decisions are final and not subject to review or appeal.
