Programme Highlights

- Can be combined with the Eiffel scholarship, CROUS and regional grants for living costs

Who Should Apply
First-time applicants from outside the European Union who have been admitted (or are applying) to a Sciences Po Bachelor's or Master's programme. There is no separate nationality shortlist — every non-EU admitted student is automatically considered once the scholarship form is submitted on time.
Funding and Costs
The scholarship reduces tuition only: it pays no monthly living stipend, so budget for Paris living costs (typically €1,200–€1,600/month with university housing) and look at the Eiffel scholarship or French regional grants for maintenance support.
