De Vinci Scholarships and Tuition Support 2026–27
De Vinci Higher Education currently offers several international-student funding routes across ESILV and EMLV. The safest way to use this page is to treat funding as programme- and school-specific, rather than assuming one universal scholarship value.
Current Funding Routes
Early Bird Tuition Waiver
For the 2026–27 academic session, De Vinci schools advertise an automatic 20% tuition-fee waiver for eligible non-French candidates who complete enrolment and pay the required deposit by the stated Early Bird deadline.
- For the September/October intake, the current ESILV funding page lists 31 March as the Early Bird deposit deadline.
- For the January intake, the current ESILV funding page lists 15 October.
De Vinci Excellence Scholarship
De Vinci Higher Education continues to list an Excellence Scholarship for talented international students. The scholarship is a tuition-fee waiver, but the maximum value and detailed criteria vary by school and programme. The latest verified 2026 application window is closed; a new 2027 application calendar has not yet been confirmed. The current ESILV funding page lists a waiver worth up to €12,900.
Applicants should therefore verify the exact award amount, test-score requirement, age rule and scholarship calendar on the funding page for the school and programme they are applying to rather than relying on one generic figure.
Other Funding
De Vinci schools also direct international students to additional routes such as the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship and scholarships offered by governments, embassies and external organisations through Campus France.
2026–27 Tuition Reference
The ESILV international funding page currently lists €11,400 per academic year for the Master in Engineering and €13,400 per academic year for MSc programmes before any applicable scholarship or tuition waiver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the De Vinci Excellence Scholarship currently open?
The scheme is still listed by De Vinci schools, but the latest verified 2026 application window is closed. A new 2027 Excellence Scholarship application calendar has not yet been confirmed.
Is there an automatic tuition discount?
Eligible non-French applicants can receive a 20% Early Bird tuition waiver when they meet the current enrolment and deposit conditions.
Is one scholarship value valid for every De Vinci programme?
No. Funding terms differ by school and programme, so applicants should verify the exact official page for their course.
De Vinci Funding: Current Status and Application Questions
Is the De Vinci Excellence Scholarship currently open?
Not on the latest verified 2026 calendar. De Vinci schools continue to list the Excellence Scholarship as a funding route, but the published 2026 application window has already closed. A new 2027 Excellence Scholarship application calendar has not yet been verified.
How much can the De Vinci Excellence Scholarship be worth?
The value is school- and programme-specific. The current ESILV funding page lists an Excellence tuition waiver worth up to €12,900, while the current EMLV funding page lists a waiver worth up to €25,000. Applicants should use the exact funding page for their school rather than assuming one universal award value.
What eligibility rules have De Vinci schools published?
Current school guidance describes the Excellence Scholarship for non-French applicants applying through the international portal at Master level for a September/October intake. EMLV’s published 2026 conditions include a minimum GMAT 650 or equivalent GRE/CAT result and an age limit of 30 on the stated reference date. These conditions should be rechecked for any future cycle.
Is the Excellence Scholarship automatic after admission?
No. Applicants must first secure admission and satisfy the scholarship criteria. Selected candidates are then invited to submit a 1,000-word essay on a topic related to the programme of study.
Is the Early Bird waiver automatic?
For the verified 2026–27 Early Bird route, eligible non-French candidates applying through the international portal receive the tuition waiver automatically when they complete enrolment and pay the required deposit by the relevant school deadline.
Can Early Bird and another scholarship be combined?
ESILV’s current funding page states that its Early Bird waiver is compatible with other scholarships. Because school-level terms can differ, applicants should confirm compatibility on the exact ESILV or EMLV programme page before paying a deposit.
Will the 20% Early Bird discount automatically continue for 2027–28?
No assumption should be made. De Vinci schools are already publishing 2027–28 tuition schedules, and current international overview pages indicate that Early Bird terms are changing. Applicants should use the 2027–28 funding page when that intake becomes their target rather than carrying forward the 2026–27 percentage.
