Apply for Mastercard Foundation scholarships at the Summer School
The Sciences Po Summer School is a selective academic programme, bringing together students from all over the world distinguishing themselves by their remarkable interest in the social sciences and their deep eagerness to study and challenge themselves on a variety of academic contents, theories and methodologies.
Scholarships for the Sciences Po Summer School are awarded in collaboration with a network of partner institutions authorized to nominate candidates. These scholarships are reserved for Scholars from the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program network who want to attend a four-week in-person programme.
During the Summer School June's session, selected students will have the opportunity to discover Sciences Po’s courses through a main course in social sciences (taught in English), and to participate in a tailor-made course ‘Transformative leadership to design and scale solutions’ dedicated to Scholars, preparing them to build innovative solutions to tackle social and environmental issues.
The selection of the candidates will be made by partner institutions based on the following criteria:
- Be a Scholar from one of the four eligible partner institutions: University of Makerere, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Rwanda, University of Gondar.
- Be of good academic standing.
- Be highly motivated for pursuing a 4-week intensive and heavy workload- demanding social science course track.
- Not being a Mastercard Foundation staff member nor a permanent staff member of the partner University.
