Evidence: Campus France central page states the Master's allowance of €1,200/month (from Jan 2026) and that tuition fees are not covered. University of Toulouse's official Eiffel page gives the institutional deadline 6 Jan 2027 and the age limits. CONFLICT FLAGGED: the PhD monthly allowance is €2,100 on Campus France central vs €2,000 on Toulouse's page — the PhD figure is withheld pending reconciliation.

Verified 2026-10-20 with one flagged conflict (PhD allowance) recorded in evidenceNotes.
