Beasiswa Eiffel untuk S-2 dan S-3

Ilustrasi : Corbis

Prancis terkenal akan keindahan alam dan obyek wisatanya. Alangkah nikmatnya ketika keindahan itu bisa dinikmati sambil melanjutkan pendidikan, apalagi secara gratis.

Program beasiswa dari pemerintah Prancis mungkin dapat menjadi jawaban atas keinginan tersebut. Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Program adalah beasiswa parsial yang ditawarkan bagi mahasiswa internasional baik tingkat S-2 maupun S-3. Program studi untuk beasiswa ini difokuskan kepada beberapa bidang, yakni teknik, ekonomi dan manajemen, hukum, dan ilmu politik.
 
Untuk program S-2, usia pelamar maksimal 30 tahun sementara S-3 maksimal 35 tahun. Kemudian, pelamar juga tidak boleh atau sudah menerima beasiswa serupa dari pemerintah Prancis.

Melalui beasiswa Eiffel ini, mahasiswa S-2 akan menerima tunjangan bulanan 1.181 euro atau sekira Rp14,7 juta (Rp12.427 per euro). Sementara itu, untuk mahasiswa S-3 akan menerima tunjangan sedikit lebih besar, yakni 1.400 euro atau Rp17,3 juta.

Selain tunjangan tiap bulan, baik S-2 maupun S-3 juga mendapat biaya perjalanan pulang, asuransi kesehatan, maupun untuk kegiatan budaya. Bahkan, penerima beasiswa juga bisa mendapatkan tunjangan akomodasi tambahan.

Sayangnya, program beasiswa ini tidak menanggung biaya kuliah. Biaya pendaftaran ke universitas juga tidak termasuk dalam tanggungan beasiswa Eiffel. Perlu diingat, untuk pengajuan beasiswa Eiffel pun hanya dapat dilakukan oleh pihak universitas Prancis.

Berminat? Untuk tahun ajaran 2013/2014, pengajuan aplikasi permohonan beasiswa diterima paling lambat 9 Januari 2013. Informasi lengkap mengenai program ini serta mekanisme pendaftaran dapat diakses pada laman ini.
