Which documents do I need to prepare for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship for a Master's or PhD in France?
You will normally need an admission application form, transcripts and degree certificates, a CV, passport or valid ID, a statement of purpose, recommendation letters, a research proposal for PhD applicants where applicable, language proof if required and any extra documents the institution requests. Requirements vary by institution.
You cannot apply directly for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship, because a participating French higher education institution submits the application on your behalf. Documentation requirements can vary slightly by institution, so follow your chosen university's guidelines.

How the Application Works
- Choose a participating French institution that offers your preferred Master's or PhD programme.
- Apply for admission according to the institution's requirements and deadlines.

- Campus France evaluates nominated applications and successful candidates are notified through their institutions.
My Advice
Contact your chosen French institution well before its internal deadline, since each has its own selection process and timeline. Check the official French government and institution pages for the latest list before the 2027 or 2028 intake.
