What is the Émile Boutmy Scholarship?
Sciences Po created this scholarship for strong international applicants who cannot use the financial support available to European students. It is linked directly to admission. You cannot apply for it after Sciences Po has already admitted you.
The selection team looks at the academic strength and overall quality of your admission file. Your grades matter, but so do the choices you have made, the work you have done, and the way your application explains your plans.
What the scholarship covers
- Master’s students can receive an €18,500 tuition exemption for each of the two years of the degree.
- Undergraduate students can receive a full tuition exemption or a €9,500 tuition exemption.
- The award is attached to the Sciences Po programme for which you are admitted.
This is mainly a tuition scholarship. Do not write that flights, housing, food or visa costs are covered unless Sciences Po confirms that separately in your award.
Who can apply?
- You are applying to Sciences Po for the first time.
- You are a citizen of a country outside the European Union.
- Your household does not file taxes within the European Union.
- You are applying for an eligible Bachelor’s or two-year Master’s programme.
- You submit a complete admission application by the scholarship deadline.
Can I apply if my parents live in Europe?
Sciences Po looks at your parents’ tax residence, not only where you live. If your parents file taxes in the EU, you will normally not qualify. If your situation is different because you are financially independent, read the university’s rules carefully and provide the evidence it asks for.
Can I apply after receiving admission?
No. This is the mistake to avoid. You must request the scholarship in the “Financial information” section before you submit your Sciences Po application. A late scholarship request will not be accepted.
How to apply
- Choose an eligible Sciences Po Bachelor’s or Master’s programme.
- Create your application through the official Sciences Po admission portal.
- Complete every required admission section and upload your supporting documents.
- Open the “Financial information” section and indicate that you are applying for the Émile Boutmy Scholarship.
- Add the financial and supporting information requested.
- Submit the complete application before the deadline that applies to your programme.
Deadline
For Master’s applicants, the listed scholarship deadlines are 18 October 2026 for the first committee or 29 November 2026 for the second committee. International undergraduate applicants have until 13 January 2027.
Use the deadline shown inside your own application portal, because programme and time-zone requirements can differ.
