Lætitia Craig de Surville prize
The aim of the Lætitia Craig de Surville prize is to mentor one to three Sciences Po students who will be spending their third year abroad in a partner university in Southeast Asia.
Lætitia Craig de Surville (Eco-Fi 1988) travelled to China not long after graduating from Sciences Po, a journey that stayed in her memory.
Today and in her memory, her family and friends, some of whom are former Sciences Po students, have created the Lætitia Craig de Surville prize. The prize provides students with not only financial support but also, if they wish, help in their search for an internship and employment.
The prize is awarded to students capable of demonstrating curiosity, international openness, generosity and enthusiasm, values embodied by Lætitia Craig de Surville.
Who can apply?
Students studying in a partner university in Southeast Asia (China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam) as part of their third year abroad.
How much is the prize?
The prize aims to provide students with financial help during their study abroad year in Southeast Asia amounting to 5000 € per prize winner.
It is not possible for students to accumulate the Lætitia Craig de Surville prize with another mobility aid.
How are students selected?
Lætitia Craig de Surville's family and friends wish to support one to three students whose personal situations justify awarding financial aid to study in a partner university in Southeast Asia for a third year abroad.
Sciences Po's scholarships and student’s support office will pre-select applications on the basis of the student's individual financial situation. A maximum of six applications will be selected and students will be interviewed by a jury. The jury is composed of Lætitia Craig de Surville's family members and friends as well as Sciences Po staff. The jury will award the prize to one to three students per year.
How may I apply?
Students intending to apply for this prize must complete the student international mobility aid application (outside Europe) and include a cover letter and CV with their application. French is the language of reference to apply for the prize.
Students are expected to indicate if they wish to apply for the Lætitia Craig de Surville prize and explain their motivation for studying in a Southeast Asian partner university in their cover letter.
