Émile Boutmy Scholarship 2027 at Sciences Po

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.

Key features of the programme:

• Merit-based — awarded on academic excellence and the type of profile sought for the programme

• Linked to admission — allocated as part of the admissions process, not afterwards

• Automatic renewal — renewed automatically if you continue into graduate studies at Sciences Po (eligible programmes)

• Combinable with external funding — may be combined with the Eiffel Scholarship, AEFE, French government scholarships, and other external awards

• First-year award — granted to students arriving at Sciences Po for their first year of studies

Undergraduate College (Bachelor's):

• Total exemption OR €9,500 exemption from tuition fees

• Scholarship retained during the year abroad (third year of the undergraduate programme)

• Amount determined upon admission and adjusted yearly in line with tuition fee increases

Master's programmes:

• €18,500 exemption from tuition fees for EACH of the two years — up to €37,000 total

• Amount determined at admission; may be recalculated yearly with tuition increases

The scholarship is lost if you do not validate your academic year or if you defer your admission.

There is no separate scholarship file — the application happens within your Sciences Po admission application:

• Sciences Po application form — with the Émile Boutmy scholarship indicated in the "Financial information" section

• Language test results — attach where applicable (you have until the scholarship deadline to provide them)

• Parcoursup applicants (French secondary schools): complete the online form once your application is validated on Parcoursup

Only complete files are considered. It is not possible to apply for the Émile Boutmy scholarship after admission or during your studies — if you miss the box, you miss the scholarship.

To be eligible, 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 (Sciences Po considers the tax residence of the parents, not the student)

• Admitted to the Undergraduate or Master's programme

For all Master's candidates and undergraduate applicants from foreign secondary schools:

Step 1: Apply for admission to your Sciences Po programme (Bachelor's or Master's) through the online application platform

Step 2: In the "Financial information" section of your application, indicate that you are applying for the Émile Boutmy scholarship

Step 3: Attach your language test results if applicable (due by the scholarship deadline)

Step 4: Submit before the deadline — undergraduate (foreign schools) by 13 January 2027; Master's by 18 October or 29 November 2026

Step 5: Only admitted students have their files reviewed for the Boutmy scholarship — you receive your admission decision first, then the scholarship decision

Step 6: If awarded, declare your scholarship during administrative registration (step 2: enter the exemption amount; step 5: upload your dated and signed certificate)

For undergraduate applicants from French secondary schools: contact the Admission Office via the online form once your Parcoursup application is validated.

Tip: Sciences Po strongly encourages you to accept your admission offer while waiting for the Boutmy decision — if not granted, you can still request a deferral (but you cannot reapply for Boutmy).
