2027 Eiffel Scholarship Campaign

The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Program was established by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to enable French higher education institutions to attract top international students to enroll in their master’s degree programs. 

It gives opportunities to future international decision-makers of the private and public sectors in priority areas of study and encourages international applicants up to 29 years old at the postgraduate level.

Applications are submitted exclusively by French higher education institutions. GEM will select candidates for nomination based on the application submitted.

GEM proceeds to a pre-selection of successful applicants (GPA 3.2 - 80%) to submit their applications to Campus France.
