Since the United Kingdom left the European Union, students of British nationality with a tax residence outside the European Economic Area are eligible to apply for the Émile Boutmy scholarship.

Since 1st January 2021, students who have British nationality are considered as non-European students. Therefore, you are only eligible for the CROUS scholarship if you meet the following three criteria:

• in possession of a valid residence permit;
• can justify a presence in France for at least 2 years on 01/09/2021;
• can provide evidence of a tax household (father, mother or legal guardian) in France for at least 2 years.

Consult the Crous circular for further information (FR).

The French Ministry of Higher Education has decided to maintain the Crous status, for British students who were Crous bursary holder students in 2020-2021 (if they meet the Crous general criteria).

As a Crous bursary holder, you will be able to benefit from a full tuition fee waiver, bursary awarded by the Crous and additional bursary awarded by Sciences Po, corresponding to 75% of the amount awarded by the Crous.

If you had Crous bursary status duing the 2020-2021 academic year, please ensure that you submit and complete your Student Social File (FR) by the deadline of 15th May.

As a Sciences Po bursary holder student in 2020-2021, you will benefit from a full tuition fee waiver for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Sciences Po will also continue to disburse a cost of living bursary corresponding to your Crous level for 2021-2022 and to the "Sciences Po cost of living bursary" corresponding amount.

Please note that you will no longer be able to apply for the Crous bursary (FR).

To benefit from this status, please submit a Sciences Po Europe bursary application for 2021-2022.

For example: a Sciences Po Europe bursary holder student, level 2 in 2021-2022, will benefit from a full tuition fee and will receive a cost of living bursary amounting to an annual amount of 1 928 euros for the 2021-2022 academic year.

This tuition fee waiver and the payment of your "Sciences Po cost of living bursary" will apply until the end of your academic studies at Sciences Po.

Since 1st January 2021, the United Kingdom has left the European Union. If your parents' tax residence is situated in the United Kingdom, the maximum tuition fees will apply.

• Re-enrolment for students enrolled in 2020-2021 or previously and re-registering for the same programme: Iif you are continuing your studies in the same study cycle, tuition fees calculation rules will remain unchanged and therefore you will continue to benefit from the sliding scale of tuition fees.
• Re-enrolment for students enrolled from 2021-2022 and re-registering for the same programme: if you have been admitted to Sciences Po in 2021-2022 or if you have moved on from undergraduate to graduate level (or from graduate level to post graduate level) in 2021-2022, the maximum tuition fees will apply.

If you are continuing your studies and changing study cycles the maximum tuition fees will apply.

Students concerned by a change in study cycles are undergraduate studies programme students moving onto a Masters programme or Masters students enrolling in the preparation of administrative exams in 2023-2024.

If you fall into one of the above categories and anticipate financial difficulties in relation to the increase in tuition fees, please get in touch explaining your situation.
