Campus France (French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs), applications handled by Université Toulouse Capitole, France

Scholarship overview

The Eiffel grants of excellence are offered to foreign students at master's and doctoral level. Université Toulouse Capitole takes in applications from its own faculties and schools, preselects them and transmits them to Campus France, which selects the best applications.

At master's level the scholarship provides 12 to 24 months of funding for a master-level degree. At doctoral level it finances mobility for first-year thesis registration (36 months), or 6, 12 or 18 months for candidates completing a thesis or newcomers to France or abroad in co-direction or co-tutelle.

The 2027 session covers Law and Political Science, Computer Science, Administration and Communication, plus the Toulouse School of Management (TSM) and Toulouse School of Economics (TSE), each with its own application window.
