Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Winner: Milagros, MiM, class of 2024

Hi! my name is Milagros Veliz, I’m from Peru and I’m studying here for a Master of Management with a specialization in International Business.

In Peru, I studied management and studied abroad at the University of Texas at Austin. I worked for approximately two years and a half at General Motors Peru and Labcorp Peru services.

EMLV is the only business school in France that offers this transversal approach in which I can work with people from the engineering school, and the digital school. Another main reason was that the international admissions team was very helpful and supportive during this process from the beginning.

They told me about the scholarship opportunities, and funding opportunities to study here in Paris, and then I discovered the Eiffel Excellence scholarship which I got.

I’m pretty excited about the school, the city, the people, the professors, and the students. There are people from all over the world and yeah everything is going pretty well.

I would encourage you, people who want to study abroad to do a master’s program, maybe a doctoral program. Believe me, there are many people, knowledge, and practical experience that you will get during this process.

Come to Paris, come to France, come to Pole Leonard de Vinci.
