In short

A fee reduction at Sciences Po in Paris, for a first application from outside the European Union. It is not a stipend. You still have to live in Paris. It is aimed at law, economics, political science and related social science, which is what Sciences Po teaches.

Useful if you want public law, international affairs, political economy or a similar master’s. Medicine and engineering are not taught here. A one-year master’s, most dual degrees, and the PhD are excluded.

Who can apply

  • You are applying to Sciences Po for the first time, from a state outside the European Union.
  • Your household does not file taxes in the European Union.
  • You do not also hold EU citizenship. Swiss and Norwegian applicants are excluded. Master’s applicants from Quebec are excluded. Bachelor’s applicants from Quebec can be considered.
  • You are applying for the bachelor’s, or for a two-year master’s. Not a PhD, not a one-year master’s, not journalism, and not a dual degree unless Sciences Po names that dual degree as an exception.

Papers they ask for

  • The ordinary Sciences Po application.
  • The scholarship ticked inside the Financial information section of that same form. A letter sent after you are admitted is not read.
  • A language test if the master’s form asks for one.

What it pays

  • Master’s: €18,500 off tuition in each of the two years
  • Bachelor’s, for applicants from schools outside France: a full fee waiver, or €9,500 off

How to apply
