How applying works in each country

Every country has its own process — we handle the paperwork for all three.

Italy

International families prepare an ISEE parificato (from apostilled income documents), then apply to their region's right-to-study authority (EDISU, ER.GO, DiSCo…) by its deadline.

Germany

Apply to DAAD's annual calls and to Deutschlandstipendium at your university. We also arrange your APS certificate and uni-assist applications.

France

Eiffel is nominated by your host school through the Campus France (Études en France) procedure; Charpak is applied via Campus France India. We manage the dossier.

Winning a scholarship is about getting the details right

Most students miss out not because they don't qualify, but because of a wrong document, a missed threshold, or a late deadline. That's exactly what we manage for you.
