How to apply: While making a request for admission to a French institute, you just have to mention that you would like to be nominated for the Eiffel scholarship. A student cannot directly apply for the Eiffel scholarship; it is the institute where you are seeking an admission that shall nominate you to the French Ministry of Foreign affairs, should the institute find your candidature merit worthy. The University/Institution applies on behalf of the student. To ensure adequate reaction time please make your admission applications by November of the year preceding your intake (in September).

Application Deadline: 6th January for the French Institute of the year for which the scholarship is applied. Thus you need to have applied to the institute by November prior to the year of intake, so that the institute has adequate time to grant you admission, and thereafter submit your file to a jury and nominate you to the Eiffel panel.
