The France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship 2026 is a prestigious program designed to attract outstanding international students to pursue master’s and doctoral studies in France. Aimed at promoting academic excellence and fostering global educational exchange, the scholarship provides comprehensive support to ensure students can focus on their studies and cultural integration without financial strain.
Recipients of the Eiffel Scholarship receive a monthly stipend to cover living expenses, enabling them to manage day-to-day costs such as accommodation, meals, and study materials. In addition to this financial support, the scholarship facilitates international air travel for students in the least expensive class, ensuring a smooth transition from their home country to France. Domestic travel within France is also supported, allowing students to explore different regions and access their universities conveniently.
The scholarship program offers assistance in securing suitable housing, which is particularly valuable for students unfamiliar with the local rental market. Health insurance is included, providing coverage for medical care and emergencies throughout the study period.
Beyond practical and financial support, the Eiffel Scholarship encourages recipients to immerse themselves in French culture. Students have opportunities to participate in cultural events, workshops, and academic networking activities, which enhance their educational experience and help them build international connections. The program also provides a chance to study in some of France’s top universities, gaining exposure to world-class faculty, research facilities, and academic resources.
The scholarship targets highly talented individuals who demonstrate strong academic achievements and leadership potential. Applicants are expected to submit a complete application by January 8, 2026, for consideration in the 2026 intake. This initiative represents a unique opportunity for students to advance their academic careers, experience life in France, and develop skills that will benefit them in their professional and personal lives.
