Tuition and living costs in Paris can make studying at Sciences Po hard to plan, especially for international students who need funding before they can commit. The Emile Boutmy Scholarship is worth reviewing early if you are applying from outside France and want to understand how academic strength, motivation, and programme fit may affect your chances.

Below, scholarship winners share how they prepared strong applications, explained their study goals, and organised the materials that supported their case. Read their stories to see what they applied for, how they handled timing, and what helped them succeed.
