Eiffel Excellence Scholarship (applications submitted by Université Savoie Mont Blanc)

Université Savoie Mont Blanc, France

Scholarship overview

The Eiffel programme is run by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs through Campus France. It lets French higher-education institutions attract the best international students to degree programmes at master's and doctoral level, in priority fields of study, and aims to train future foreign decision-makers in the private and public sectors.

Students cannot apply directly to Campus France: only institutions submit applications. At Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) the International Relations Department (DRI) handles the Eiffel process, and the application is created online only after the programme director, or the laboratory and thesis supervisor, approve the student's candidacy.
