 I'm from Colombia. I did a Bachelor in Economics and a Master in Economics in Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá, Colombia. I chose TSE because it's an excellent university with a huge research group in different topics. In Colombia I had a lot of professors that did their PhD here in Tulusa School of Economics, so I always had this strong connection with TSE. The process to apply for the Eiffel scholarship was really straightforward. You just have to send the standard application process via the TSE website and send the standard and the traditional documents such as the GRE, the TOEFL, the letters of recommendation. But you have to select a box that emphasises that you want to be considered for the Eiffel scholarship. You have to be really care about the application because you cannot apply directly to Campus France for the Eiffel scholarship. You have to apply to TSE and TSE must send the support letter to Campus France for the Eiffel scholarship. Additionally, you have to be aware about the deadline because it usually closes earlier than the traditional standard application. The Eiffel scholarship is really, really nice. They give me a monthly estimate but also they support me in very different ways. They help me with the travel costs, they help me with the health insurance, they help me and give me a lot of advices about cultural activities that we can do here in Tulusa and also around France. They are also very aware about me, they frequently follow my process in the programme and every time I can contact them if I have any inquiry. This year in Tulusa have been not one, the most difficult year of my life, also the most demanding and challenging but also the year that I have learnt and enjoyed the most. The classes are excellent, the professors are outstanding, researchers, my classmates are fantastic. They are not only very smart people but also very kind and supportive that I think that when you are doing a PhD it's the most important thing that you can ask for. Tulusa is a fantastic city, I love Tulusa. Tulusa is an international city with a lot of junk students, junk people so if you don't speak French, same as me, you can communicate, you can't live without any problems so it's perfect. The transport system is really efficient, everything is closed, the sunsets are really beautiful, it has a lot of fun places, pubs, really fun activities so to be a grad student is a perfect place to be. I want to pursue an academic career researching the social issues that most affect middle income countries such as poverty, inequality and access to health and educational systems.
