Rifaa Al-Tahtawi Master's Scholarship in France 2027–2028 for Egyptian Students

A scholarship offered for about thirteen years by the Embassy of France in Egypt through the Institut français d'Égypte, for Egyptian students applying to the second year of a master's degree (Master 2) at a French higher education institution. It pays a monthly allowance of €860 (an indicative amount that may be revised) for up to 10 months, including any compulsory internship, and gives a waiver of registration fees at public institutions under the French Ministry of Higher Education, a waiver of the student life contribution (CVEC), a free visa and help booking a university residence. It does not cover the air ticket or tuition beyond the registration-fee waiver. Applicants need at least B2 in French or English and must first apply to a Master 2 programme through Études en France or directly with the institution. Distance and work-study (alternance) programmes are not eligible, and French-Egyptian dual nationals cannot apply. The 14th call (2026–2027) was published on 4 December 2025 and closed on 15 February 2026, with results in June. The 2027–2028 call has not been announced yet.
