Scholarship overview

The Eiffel scholarship programme is run by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to help French higher-education institutions attract the best foreign students to degree programmes at Master and doctoral level.

The candidacy is carried by the institution the applicant selects. UPHF, the university to which INSA Hauts-de-France belongs, can present Master and engineering-degree candidates. Calls are held each October for entry the following September.
