Sciences Po Scholarships for European Students 2027

Overview

Sciences Po offers need-based scholarships and tuition reductions for European Union students at both undergraduate and Masters level. The aid is calculated against household income and applies a sliding tuition scale, meaning the most financially constrained EU students may pay no tuition at all. Cycle deadlines align with Sciences Po’s admissions; verify on the source page.

Benefits

• Tuition reductions calculated on a sliding scale based on household income. The poorest applicants pay no tuition.
• Eligibility for the French government’s CROUS scholarship (separate application).
• Eligibility for Sciences Po-administered Mobility Scholarships during the third year abroad.
• Emergency Aid Fund for students who suffer a sudden change in family financial circumstances.

Eligibility

• European Union national or long-term resident of an EU country.
• Admitted (or applying for admission) to a Sciences Po undergraduate or Masters programme.
• Documented household income through tax returns and other supporting documents.
