France needs to have successful foreign scholar programmes for cultural, academic, economic and political reasons.
- Cultural, since France has a long tradition of cultural diversity that is important to uphold,
- Academic, since having foreign scholar programmes is a way for French higher education and research
- institutions to acquire the international reputation they need for their development,
- Economic, in that our country’s future growth in international trade depends partly on good quality
- foreign scholar programmes today,
- Political, since foreign scholars are an important vehicle for our influence worldwide.
The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the Eiffel excellence scholarship programme in January 1999 to support French centres of higher education in their international outreach initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among developed countries, to attract elite overseas students on Master’s, Engineering and PhD courses.

Dear Mr./Mrs,
I would like to offer my academic qualifications as a graduate from the faculty of Computer and Information Science at the respected Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt being one of the best universities in Information and Computer Science in Egypt.
I am writing with a deep desire to pursue a research position to the Master’s Program to develop my academic career path. I truly believe that my credentials will be of great use in the workplace environment. Due to my academic discipline, I possess a formidable basis of onsite independent learning. With regards to my grades, I passed my bachelor’s degree with distinction and I was ranked first in my honors class. I also have a few professors who have recommended me.
One of my greatest strength lies in Software Design and Development. Teaching several courses in programming and Data Structure such as Object Oriented Programming, Assembly Language and Information Engineering has granted me the ability to work proficiently with software development using many programming languages such as .Net, Java…
I would like the chance to hear from you regarding my abilities and qualifications, and to further my capabilities with a research position. Thank you for your time, consideration, and kind assistance.
Sincerely,
Hussein Haggag
