Sciences Po Emile-Boutmy (Undergraduate & Postgraduate) Scholarships 2023/2024 for Study in France (Funded)

The Émile Boutmy fellowship was established by Sciences Po in honour of its founder, Émile Boutmy (1871), in order to attract the very best international students from outside the European Union. The Émile Boutmy Scholarship is given to outstanding students whose profiles satisfy Sciences Po’s admissions goals and specific course requirements.

The Émile Boutmy Scholarship Fund is made possible by the kind donations of its sponsors, who are benefactors, businesses, and organisations eager to give the most deserving international students the opportunity to attend Sciences Po. During officially sanctioned events, private sponsors are able to speak with scholarship recipients directly.
