The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the Eiffel excellence scholarship programme in January 1999 to support French centres of higher education in their international outreach initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among developed countries to attract elite students from overseas. In 2005, the scheme was extended with the Eiffel Doctorate programme, addressing high-calibre PhD students.
For greater clarity, the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs is now introducing a single application procedure for its Eiffel Scholarship and Eiffel Doctorate Scholarship programmes.
The new Eiffel programme thus covers two types of course:
- Master’s postgraduate degree course
- Ten-month co-tutored or co-managed component (preferably second or third year) of PhD course
The objectives of the Eiffel excellence programme run by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs remain unchanged, the first being to offer French higher-education opportunities for future public- and private-sector decision-makers in three priority areas: science; economics & management; and law & political science.

1/ Objectives of Eiffel programme
Eiffel excellence scholarships are awarded to high-achieving overseas students to whom French centres of higher education would like to offer a place on a Master’s or PhD course. The courses taken by these students in France ultimately target positions of responsibility in the public or private sector, rather than careers in teaching or research.
The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs gives priority to candidates from emerging countries (starting with Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and new members of the European Union), though the PhD scholarships also address students from industrialized countries.
Applications from students currently studying outside France will be given priority over those from students already studying in France.
2/ Areas of study covered by the Eiffel programme
Eiffel grants cover the following subject areas:
- Engineering sciences for the Master’s course, and sciences in a broader sense for the PhD course (engineering sciences, exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) life sciences, nano- and bio-technologies, environment sciences, and information & communication sciences).
- Economics and management.
- Law and political science.
3/ Academic levels covered by the Eiffel programme
French centres of higher education putting forward candidates for Eiffel scholarships undertake to enrol successful applicants on one of the following types of course:
- Master’s course
- PhD course co-tutored or co-managed with partner higher education centre in the student’s country of origin
Candidates must not be aged over 30 (in the year of selection) for a Master’s scholarship or over 35 for a PhD scholarship.

Objectives
The Eiffel Doctorate Scholarship programme provide organized education facilities to encourage postgraduate study in France and promote student mobility on joint postgraduate research in priority disciplines.
Coverage
The Eiffel Doctorate Scholarship programme provides French higher education opportunities for future public- and private-sector decision-makers in the following areas:
- Sciences: engineering sciences, exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry), life sciences, bio- and nano-technologies, environment sciences, and information & communication sciences
- Economics and management
- Law, political sciences, international relations
Target population
The programme offers foreign students with a master’s degree a year’s study in France. It necessarily involves enrolment on a doctoral thesis course run in partnership with a French higher education centre (with joint management compulsory and joint tutorship preferred).
Students remain enrolled at their original university throughout the doctorate programme.
Applications from non-French-speaking students will be considered provided the applicants take French language training prior to and during the year’s course.
Applicants must be no older than 35 the year of selection.
