Eiffel Excellence Scholarships

Only applications with an average grade of at least 15/20 over the last three academic years will be submitted by Sorbonne Université to Campus France.

The program is designed to train future foreign decision-makers in the private and public sectors, in priority fields of study.

For both parts of the France Excellence Eiffel program, the scholarship is awarded for the academic year corresponding to the call for applications. (This period must begin between September 1 and November 30 of the year the scholarship is awarded).

The Eiffel scholarship program has two components:

• A Master's program, which provides funding for 12, 24 or 36 months of training leading to a Master's degree (candidates currently studying in France are ineligible).
• A PhD program, which provides funding for 12 to 18 months of mobility, depending on the year of enrolment, as part of a co-supervised program (the co-supervision agreement will need to be signed), and a 36-month grant on condition of enrolment in the first year of the thesis, for first-time students only.

Fields of study for the Master's and PhD programs 

Both Eiffel scholarship programs cover the following seven subject areas:

Science and technology:

• Biology and Health
