What French scholarships can I apply for if I want a business analytics master's?

Yes. The Eiffel scholarship covers master's applicants under 29, and only French higher education institutions can submit applications, so you cannot apply directly. ESSEC, Rennes School of Business, IÉSEG and EDHEC publish their own awards. Check each school's amounts and rules, plus Campus France India.

Yes, several French business schools fund Indian master's students in business analytics. Most awards cover part of the tuition, and some national schemes need the institution to nominate you. Programme names differ, so check that your exact degree is eligible.

National scholarships and how to apply

  1. The France Excellence Eiffel scholarship is for outstanding master's applicants under 29, and you cannot apply directly. The French institution must submit your application, and its window closes in early January for the following academic year.
  2. Campus France India lists a France Excellence Charpak Scholarship and sections for institutional scholarships and scholarships for Indian students. Check which are open to your degree.
  3. Read the scholarship page for each school for deadlines, because merit awards often close before the final admission round.
  4. Confirm that the scholarship applies to your exact programme before you accept an offer.
  5. Ask each school whether it nominates students for the Eiffel scholarship, and when it needs your documents.

My Advice

Start with ESSEC and Rennes for direct programme matches, and ask the admissions team at each school whether they nominate students for the Eiffel scholarship. Apply in the earliest round, because many awards are given before the final admission round and the Eiffel window closes early in the year.
