Émile Boutmy Scholarship 2026-2027 Available from September 2025
France is once again opening its doors to ambitious minds from across the globe! If you’re a foreign applicant dreaming of studying at Sciences Po, one of Europe’s most prestigious universities, the Émile Boutmy Scholarship is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.
What Is the Émile Boutmy Scholarship?
The scholarship was created to honor Émile Boutmy, the founder of Sciences Po, and aims to attract the brightest international students from outside the European Union. Each year, hundreds of students benefit from this program, supported by well-known global sponsors like L’Oréal, Chalhoub Group, and Fondation Luksic Scholars.
This isn’t just financial aid—it’s a recognition of talent, drive, and global perspective. Scholars also gain access to networking opportunities with benefactors and partners, which often extend far beyond the classroom.
Why Should You Be Excited?
In previous years, the scholarship has offered:
- Undergraduate students: tuition grants of up to €14,720 per year (renewable for three years).
- Master’s students: up to €13,100 per year covering part of tuition fees for two years.
Recipients are chosen based on academic excellence and financial need, with priority given to those whose backgrounds align with the scholarship’s mission of diversity and inclusion.
Who Can Apply?
The scholarship is open to first-time international applicants from outside the European Union. Applicants must have already secured admission to either an undergraduate or master’s program at Sciences Po. Certain dual degrees and regional categories (like some programs for Swiss, Norwegian, or Quebec students) may have different rules, but most foreign applicants are eligible.
When to Expect Applications?
Mark your calendar: The official announcement for the 2026–2027 Émile Boutmy Scholarship will be published in September 2025. Once details are released, applicants will find updated deadlines, eligibility clarifications, and instructions for applying.
Why Choose Sciences Po?
Studying at Sciences Po places you in the heart of Paris with access to world-class faculty, international networks, and a campus culture that thrives on innovation and public leadership. Add the Émile Boutmy Scholarship to the mix, and it becomes one of the most valuable gateways to a career in global affairs, business, law, economics, or the humanities.
