Other Scholarships
The French government gives a certain amount of money every year to fund foreign students studying in France. Most of these scholarships (or in French, bourses) are given based on the recipient's program of study (the degree he or she will earn from a higher education institution), or the recipient's research projects. The duration of your scholarship depends on your program of study or the work involved. That being said, your results while in France, such as exams and research, can affect how much money you are given.
The following websites contain information on scholarships for international students who want to study in France:

All international students are encouraged to check with their own government to see if there are any scholarships available.
Eiffel Scholarships
The Eiffel Excellence Programme offers funding for a Master’s postgraduate degree course and PhD. It is run by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. Focusing on three key subject areas of sciences, economics and management, law and political science, its primary aim is to offer scholarships in French higher education establishments to future public and private sector decision-makers in foreign countries.
As regards the Master’s degree course, students pursuing careers in teaching and research are not eligible as they can benefit from other grant programmes.
It also seeks to encourage applicants from developing countries, particularly in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the new EU Member States, although this does
include industrialised countries for the PhD component. The Eiffel Programme is designed to help French higher education establishments attract highcalibre overseas students. Only French higher education establishments can submit applications and, if successful, they must enrol the candidates in the requested courses to obtain the Eiffel grant.
