France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship, Master's level (Université de Toulouse nomination)

Université de Toulouse (Paul Sabatier), France

Scholarship overview

The France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship supports incoming mobility of international students with outstanding academic records. It was established by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is managed by Campus France. The Master's component funds enrolment in a Master's-level programme or an engineering degree programme.

Students cannot apply directly to Campus France. Applications must be submitted by a French higher education institution, and an applicant can be nominated by only one institution. To be nominated by the Université de Toulouse, candidates submit a pre-application to the university; programme coordinators review it, and selected candidates prepare the final Eiffel application with the university.

The programme must be an eligible degree at the Université de Toulouse. Campus France runs the final selection.
