Notice 4: we strongly recommend that you look for other scholarships on your side (ask the French embassy in your country) because the Eiffel scholarship is extremely competitive and it gives priority to new comers, i.e. students who have never been to France before. If you are already living in France at the time you are applying, the program chairs will not select your application.
