Eiffel Excellence Scholarship - Master (University of Strasbourg nominations, 2027 session)

University of Strasbourg, France

Scholarship overview

The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship programme was set up by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs for international students. It is run by Campus France. Candidates cannot apply directly: they must be nominated by a French higher-education institution, and the University of Strasbourg collects and assesses applications for its own Master's programmes before sending the selected files to Campus France.

At Master's level the scholarship funds up to 12 months for a second-year Master (M2), up to 24 months for a first-year Master (M1) and up to 36 months for an engineering degree. Priority fields are science and technology (biology and health, ecological transition, mathematics and digital, engineering sciences) and humanities and social sciences (history, French language and civilisation, law and political science, economics and management).

Applications are assessed by the Master's programme managers, then centralised by the Direction des relations internationales (DRI) and forwarded to Campus France. Results are announced in April 2027.
