Students from an EU member state country, a European Economic Area (EEA) member country and Switzerland are eligible to apply for the Sciences Po Europe bursary.

You will also need to meet other eligibility requirements in relation to age and income. Criteria used to award the Sciences Po Europe bursary are similar to those used by the Crous established every year by the Ministry (FR).

Please ensure that you check your Crous eligibility by calculating your Crous level on the Crous website (FR) before applying to the Sciences Po Europe bursary and that you prepare your documents according to your situation including :

• Tax notice showing all income for both parents or for the tax household to which you are attached for 2023. Read the Methodology for Tax residence in the European Economic Area (EEA) (PDF, 126 Ko);
• Proof of enrollment for any brothers and sisters enrolled in higher education for the 2025/2026 academic year;
• An administrative document (family booklet, birth certificate for example) indicating the number of children in your household;
• Proof of a change of situation.

If you are eligible and depending on your parents' gross income and family expense points (points de charge), you will be awarded a level (0bis to 7).

You will thus benefit from :

• a tuition fee waiver bursary;
• a cost of living bursary (disbursed in 10 monthly instalments from September to June) up to 175% of the Crous scholarship, depending on the campus.

Sciences Po Europe bursary is only awarded during the first year of study in France. For the second year of study, you may apply for the Crous bursary directly on the CROUS website.

Important information: Students are not authorised to cumulate the Sciences Po Europe bursary with any other bursary, grant or scholarship and in particular a bursary, grant or scholarship awarded by a foreign government.

You may submit your application for the Sciences Po Europe bursary as of 18 March 2025. The deadline for applications is May 13th, 2025.
