France's list is a Master's list: 16 scholarships are listed, and Master's study appears in all 16, with 2 also open to PhD and 1 to Bachelor. 15 hosts are distinct, so awards are tied to single institutions rather than spread nationally. Only 1 deadline is still ahead. The money splits between government stipends (Eiffel) and university awards paid monthly.

The Eiffel Excellence Scholarships from the French Government pay €1,200 a month at Master's level and €2,100 at PhD, for 12-36 months, plus international and national transport, health insurance and housing-search help. Universities pay differently. Université Paris-Saclay gives €10,000 per year paid monthly September to June, reduced during months abroad or in external internships, plus up to €900 yearly for travel and visa. ENS de Lyon's Ampère award is €1,000 per month for one academic year, renewable under conditions. ENS International Selection pays €1,000 monthly for 3 years and a campus room.
Sciences Po funds fees rather than living costs: Émile Boutmy gives non-EU students either total exemption or €9,500 off undergraduate tuition, and €18,500 off each Master's year. Business school awards are fixed sums. INSEAD Greendale covers €35,000 of tuition for disadvantaged Southern and East Africans; INSEAD Nelson Mandela gives up to €20,000 to sub-Saharan nationals; INSEAD-Syngenta pays €22,500; Fondation Rainbow Bridge at HEC Paris pays €20,000 to women from affected Asian or African countries. The HEC-Eiffel stipend of about €1,100 monthly excludes tuition.
Eiffel pays €2,100 monthly at PhD level and €1,200 at Master's. Among university awards, Paris-Saclay's €10,000 per year and ENS's €1,000 monthly for 3 years are the largest recurring sums.
For several awards yes. HEC-Eiffel requires MBA admission and an application within 1 week of it, Rainbow Bridge requires full-time HEC Paris MBA admission, and Boutmy requires admission to Sciences Po.
Émile Boutmy at Sciences Po is for first-time applicants from non-EU states whose household does not file taxes in the EU; Swiss and Norwegian students are not eligible.
