What is the Campus France procedure for Egyptian students?

Egypt is a DAP Blanche country. Egyptian students must complete the EEF process including a language competency verification at Campus France Egypt (Cairo or Alexandria). This is not a full DELF/DALF exam but an assessment of language readiness. After the EEF process, the Campus France assessment is transmitted to the French consulate for the visa decision.

How many hours can an Egyptian student work in France?

Egyptian students (like most non-EU students, except Algerians) can work up to 964 hours per year (approximately 20 hours/week) once their VLS-TS student visa is validated on ANEF. No separate work permit is needed. Mandatory internships in the academic programme do not count towards this limit.

What scholarships are available for Egyptian students in France?

Main scholarships: French Government BGF (awarded by the French Embassy in Cairo — check on the embassy website for annual calls), Eiffel Excellence Scholarship (€1,181/month Master's, via French institution nomination), Egyptian government MOHE scholarships (contact the Egyptian Cultural Bureau in Paris), and bilateral bilateral programmes between French and Egyptian institutions.
