France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship 2027 Open for Masters and PhD, Act in November

The France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship, run by Campus France for the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, is open for its 2027 campaign. It pays a monthly allowance of 1,200 euros for a masters and 2,000 euros for a PhD, plus travel, insurance and housing help, though it does not pay tuition. Students cannot apply directly: a French university must nominate them, and each university sets its own internal deadline, many of which fall in November 2026, so interested students should contact their chosen university now.

Eligibility: International students, including Pakistanis, applying for a masters (age 29 or under) or a PhD (age 35 or under) at a French institution in a priority field. Admission to the French institution comes first, then the institution nominates the student to Campus France.

Deadline: 6 January 2027 for French institutions to submit files to Campus France. University internal deadlines are earlier, many in November 2026.
