It is vital that companies contribute to the funding of Sciences Po – our public resources alone are no longer sufficient to develop or maintain the excellence of our teaching, research, publishing and documentation activities. The funds raised are used to improve study facilities for students and initiate innovative support projects (renovation of the library), provide IT facilities and fund student bursaries, etc. Join the 1000 or so companies that pay all or part of their education tax to Sciences Po!

In 2009, the education tax helped set up the Sciences Po business incubator: this unique initiative resulted in creation of 12 start-ups by students and recent graduates, and is now an integral part of Sciences Po's overall educational objectives.

By paying your education tax to Sciences Po, you can benefit from a free subscription to one of the journals published by Sciences Po's university press and enjoy free access to our library, which possesses one of the largest collections of social sciences holdings in continental Europe.

How can I pay my educational tax to Sciences Po?

The "barème"" component of the education tax can be paid to Sciences Po for level C ("senior executives") or, cumulatively, for levels C and B ("senior executives + middle management")

The "quota" part of the education tax can be paid to CFA Formasup Paris, specifying that the contribution is intended for Sciences Po. You can also choose to dedicate your contribution specifically to one or more of our work-study programmes: "Journalism", "Marketing studies and strategy", "Communication", "Human resources management" and "Public Affairs".

The education tax must be paid via an approved collecting agency (OCTA):

• either through our partners, AGIRES DEVELOPPEMENT, SYNTEC or PEMEP
• or through any other collecting agency.

The only way to ensure that all or part of your education tax is allocated to us is to explicitly indicate "Sciences Po" on the form provided by the collecting agency.

Don't forget to inform us of the funds that you have requested be allocated to Sciences Po.

Final payment date: 28 February 2011
