A golden opportunity has emerged for Pakistani students aspiring to study in France through the France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship 2026, a prestigious program administered by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. This globally recognized initiative is designed to attract outstanding international students, nurture future leaders, and strengthen academic and cultural ties between France and partner nations.
The Eiffel Scholarship is fully funded, covering all major expenses for selected Master’s and PhD students, including monthly stipends, international airfare, health insurance, accommodation assistance, and participation in cultural and professional development activities. With this support, scholars can fully dedicate themselves to academic achievement and innovation without financial stress.
The program offers opportunities in a wide range of fields critical to global progress. In Science and Technology, students can specialize in Biology & Health, Ecological Transition, Mathematics & Digital, and Engineering Sciences. In Humanities and Social Sciences, the scholarship supports studies in Law, Political Science, Economics, and Management — disciplines aimed at advancing sustainable governance, innovation, and leadership.
To be eligible, applicants must be non-French nationals and meet specific age criteria: under 30 years for Master’s applicants (born after March 31, 1996) and under 35 years for PhD candidates (born after March 31, 1990). Importantly, applications are accepted only through French universities, meaning candidates must first secure institutional support before nomination.
Each participating university assesses applicants based on academic excellence, research potential, leadership qualities, and their commitment to contributing to the development of their home countries. For talented Pakistani students, this scholarship represents a gateway to world-class education, global exposure, and long-term professional growth in one of the world’s most dynamic academic environments.
