Will the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship pay my tuition fees in France?

The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship allowance supports living costs and mobility and does not pay tuition directly. Some French institutions waive tuition fees for selected scholars, so treatment varies by institution. Ask your French institution which fees still apply to you before you plan your budget.
