Sciences Po created the Émile Boutmy scholarship, named after the founder of Sciences Po (1872), in order to welcome the very best international students from outside the European Union. 

The Émile Boutmy scholarship fund benefits from the generous support of its sponsors (benefactors, companies, and foundations) who are eager to allow the most deserving international students to study at Sciences Po. Private sponsors can be in direct contact with scholarship holders during official organised events.

ELIGIBILITY:

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be first-time applicants to Sciences Po from a non-European Union state whose household does not file taxes within the European Union and who have been admitted to the Master’s programme.

Émile Boutmy scholarship holders are already at Sciences Po: the amount awarded through the scholarship is determined at the time of admission. It may be recalculated on a yearly basis, in accordance with tuition fee increases, when applicable.  

If you do not validate your academic year, your scholarship will be lost.

If you have been granted a scholarship and you decide to defer your admission, your scholarship will be lost.

This scholarship is awarded based on merit and according to the type of profile sought for this programme.

The Émile Boutmy scholarship is awarded to students arriving at Sciences Po for their first year of study.

Important: It is not possible for students to apply for the Émile Boutmy scholarship after their admission to Sciences Po or during their studies at Sciences Po. Students are therefore responsible for finding another source of funding if they have not been awarded the Emily Boutmy scholarship.

The Admissions Department is responsible for awarding Émile Boutmy scholarships. Please note that your scholarship request will only be taken into account if you are admitted to one of our eligible programmes.

BENEFIT:
