9 March 2011 // 14 Comments

Deadline: 13 March 2012 for graduate applicants; 2 May 2012 for undergraduate applicants
Open to: international students from outside of the European Union
Scholarship: varies according to category

Sciences Po created the Emile Boutmy scholarship after the founder of Sciences Po (1871) in order to attract the very best international students from outside of the European Union. The Emile Boutmy Scholarship is awarded to top students whose profiles match the admissions priorities of Sciences Po and individual course requirements.

The Financial Support Office administers a variety of scholarships and award schemes. Altogether 1M€ was awarded to non-european students in 2009 out of a total of 2.1M€.

Eligibility

Eligible students are those from a non-European Union state, whose household does not file taxes within the European Union, and who have been admitted to the Undergraduate or Master’s programme.
Students who are not eligible are:

  • Swiss and Norwegian applicants, since they may be entitled to CROUS scholarships
  • Candidates who have dual citizenship, including from a European Union state
  • Candidates from Quebec (since they may take advantage of sliding scale fees same as European applicants)
  • Dual-degree candidates
  • Third-year Ph.D. programme students (thesis)
  • MPA candidates, since they may apply for the MPA scholarship

The Emile Boutmy scholarship may be supplemented with various scholarships offered by the French government.
This scholarship is awarded based on factors of excellence and according to the type of profile sought for this programme. Social criteria are also taken into account.
This scholarship is not automatically awarded. A request for it must be made in the section designated for the purpose on the application form.

Scholarship

Undergraduate programme

The Emile Boutmy programme can take several different forms for students on the undergraduate programme. The length of the scholarship is always dependent on scholarship recipients’ academic results; they must be ranked within the top half of students within their year group.

  1. A tuition grant of 7300€ per year for the three years of the undergraduate programme, in addition to a grant to cover part of the cost of living of €5000 per year.
  2. A tuition grant of 7300€ per year for the three years of the undergraduate programme.
  3. A grant of €5000 per year to cover tuition fees for the three years of the undergraduate programme.
  4. A grant of €3000 per year to cover tuition fees for the three years of the undergraduate programme.

If the scholarship recipients’ academic results are not within the upper half of their year group at the end of the second semester of the first year,  they will forfeit their right to the scholarship for the second year.

If the scholarship recipient is within the top 10% of his year group at the end of the first year, he/she is eligible for a tuition fees grant as well as for a grant to cover living costs for the second year of study. This comes in addition to the tuition fees grant. Only students having requested this grant will be considered.

During the year abroad (third year of the undergraduate programme):

Scholarship recipients who are among the top 50% of students in their year group at the end of their second year will retain their tuition fee grant during their year abroad.

For those students awarded a grant to cover living costs in their second year, a grant to cover the costs of the stay abroad will be provided if deemed necessary and if the destination justifies.

Masters level

The Emile Boutmy programme can take several different forms for students at Masters level. The length of the scholarship is always dependent on scholarship recipients’ academic results; they must be ranked within the upper half of the students within their year group.

  1. A grant of 10000€ per year to cover tuition fees for the two years of the Masters, in addition to a grant to cover part of the cost of living of €6000 per year.
  2. A grant of €10000 per year to cover tuition fees for the two years of the Masters.
  3. A grant of €5000 to cover tuition fees for the two years of the Masters.

Scholarship recipients will forfeit their right to the grant if their academic results are not with the top 50% of students within their year group at the end of the first year.

    Can I apply for EmileBoutmi scholarship in advance of my admission to master course(to do it afterwards). If I am eligible (and have enough chances to succeed in) to apply if I graduated the doctoral studies in the end of 2010 and expecting the thesis defence (it is also general question for any relative master phd apps). What should be the proof of income if I have now job (I am from former USSR).

    I had question in the whole if it generally eligible and possible to apply for master course during or after the doctoral studies for example in adjacent field of knowledge, meantine having bachellour and master in initial field of study. Taking into account the announcement of stipend I understand it is possible during the doctoral studies because here is limitation for 3-rd (last) year of Phd (or this limitation is more due to the finishing the thesis itself). Then what about 1-st,2-nd year, and period after finishing the doctoral study (should last case considered only in the light of Post-doc). How I can be admitted to master course without the scholarship itself or another proof of securing tuition and living expenses or it is general practice in EU to have admission i.e. acceptance letter by reference to the possible succesful scholarship in the future. I would not like to be angered with me but I have one important question else. If I could not produce the TOEFL or IELTS certificate due to expensiveness of this test in my country for general level of income can I submit the assurance of my english language abilities by my university teacher as the substitute for this requirement (what is percentage of such possibility in average).

    Hello, And,

    Just to inform you: the deadline of this scholarship is over.
    (Deadline: 21 February 2011)
    Other questions (please, try to write your questions clearly, it is difficult to make my way through the text in one paragraph):
    1. As long as you meet the requirements for most of the Master's degree scholarships (which is usually the Bachelor's degree), you can apply for the Master's studies even when you are a professor (however, there is usually an age limit).
    2. In some cases, you need to prove that you have been admitted to the university, otherwise, how can some public body grant you a scholarship: what would you be getting it for?
    3. TOEFL and IELTS tests are a standardized tool to evaluate your level of English; the respective scholarship-granting authorities (or the university) need a very objective proof of your English skills, which, your university teacher's assurance, I am afraid, does not seem to be.

    Wishing you good luck in the future,

    Kristina,

    To end my questions at least preliminary I am dare to ask one more question despite all passed deadlines of this scholarship. It has some correlation to this stipend. What about the second higher education. For example despite my master and doctoral studies in social science I received degree of SPECIALIST in economics. It studies lasted 2,5 years part-time. It is considered in Ukraine the full higher education and officially this diploma is called the diploma on Repreparedness (Requalification). It includes all necesarry special subjects of particular discipline as it was at usual bachelor and master studies but without passed on first education certain and general courses that is usually common for any higher education. This Specialist degree can be equated to the bachelor degree as it also give the right for entering the master studies. Despite in the first higher education Specialist degree is received by the major part of bachelor graduates with worth academic results because minor better part are going to master degree. But in requalification diploma is targeted only for specialist not master degree. Thus second education doesnt targeted for worst level of studies despite influenced by the higher age of student and the mode of learning parttime. At least it comprise the same level of academic abilities of students. For example at my academic group (25 persons) there was another doctoral student but from math science. So my question can I apply for the Emile Boutmi scholarship on the basis of specialist degree. How I can appropriately interpret and translate this diploma in the context of European System Of Education especially ECTS. (sorry for my passages it was typed on small Nokia phone in opera mini 3).

    Ok, And,

    I am running out of patience with you.
    You are on your way to become a PhD holder and, if you read, instead of writing novels (I am wondering how you can write such a long text typed on the phone), there is clearly written:
    These individuals are NOT eligible.
    # Dual-degree candidates
    # Third-year Ph.D. programme students (thesis)

    So, hasta la vista.

    Good luck with other scholarships.

    Sorry, for throwing you into impatience. I have no so much nessecity of "luck" wishing, but only a bit of consultation and the information I was in need probably some years ago. You are probably very diligent to answer the requests of possible applicant but I direct this post not just to Mlad.info. Besides If you have no stationary internet you even can write a whole article with the support T9. I used the announcement about this france scholarship only as example for any other similar master scholarship and admission application. I am well aware that this year scholarship deadline has gone nearly month ago. But I have no relation to the dual degree studies and have 3-year doctoral student in 2009. But I have no response to question about my Specialist degree. To simply explain it is something middle between bachelor and master. I read that in Austria there is diploma programme as the whole course of 4-5 year. This specialist degree is probably the same but in 2-3,5 along. So I seek how to apply this my degree in the bachelor and master system and if it could be the basis for scholarship and admission for master course.

    Анд,

    чаша переполнена. Давай/те на русский/украинский, а то я теряюсь в ваших текстах полностью: вы посмотрите, как я строю текст, чтобы легче всем читалось, тьфу.
    Значит, вы специалист, будете защищаться в этом году и получите докторат, а вы спрашиваете, можно ли подаваться на какую-то стипендиальную программу, чтобы получить Мастра или Доктора (PhD)? Я вас правильно понимаю?
    Во-первых, что касается этой программы, я думаю, что вы не можете подаваться, так как вы перед защитой, а это считается последним годом PhD. а если да, то они по-моему предпочтут кого-то без степени.
    Во-вторых, есть столько различных стипендиальных программ и требования в них настолько разные, что я просто не смогу ответить на ваш обширный вопрос. В общем, вы можете подаваться на Мастра, если у вас уже один Мастер есть, даже Докторатов можете себе сделать, сколько хотите, только остается под вопросом, если со стипендией. Но, опять, там многие критерии, которые берутся в учет, напр. ваши результаты, ваш research proposal, ваши референции, ваша степень знания иностранного языка (сертификат) и т. п.
    В-третьих, в некоторых стипендиальных программах (допустим, для Мастер стадис) требуют полученную степень Бакалавра и его эквивалентов, чем специалист в большинстве случаев и является. Но опять, как вы уже отметили, надо смотреть, нет ли возрастного ограничения.

    Все, я исчерпалась, надеюсь, утолила вашу любопытность.
    Между прочим, я сомневаюсь, что нет никого в вашем окружении, который не смог бы ответить на ваши вопросы.
