Can more than one French university nominate me for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship in the same cycle?

No. You can apply for admission to several French universities, but in a single selection cycle only one French institution can submit your nomination for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship. Students cannot apply directly, so the nomination must come from a participating institution, and you need not secure admission first.

No, only one French institution can nominate you in a single selection cycle. You can still apply for admission to multiple French universities, but the nomination itself is limited to one institution per cycle.

What the scholarship covers and who can be considered

  • It is a French government programme that supports eligible Master's and PhD programmes at participating institutions.
  • Indian students can be considered if they meet the requirements and receive an official nomination; admission does not need to be secured before nomination.
  • It does not pay tuition directly, but tuition exemption is statutory for eligible programmes.

My Advice

Apply to several universities for admission, but confirm early which ones participate in the scholarship nomination. Then ask your preferred institution how it selects nominees, so you know where to focus your effort in this cycle.
