Benefits & Financial Support

€3,600 to €14,200 (approx. ₹20.7 Lakh+)

The Emile Boutmy Scholarship is awarded as a tuition grant or exemption, not as a living stipend. For undergraduate programs, the scholarship can range from an annual tuition grant of €3,600 to €14,200 per year for three years, with a full tuition exemption or an exceptional grant of up to €19,000 for three years in certain cases. For Master's programs, it generally provides a tuition grant of €13,100 per year for two years, or an €18,500 exemption from tuition fees annually. The scholarship operates on a tiered system determined by the admissions and scholarship jury. There is no mention of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to Aadhaar-seeded accounts, as this is an international scholarship provided by Sciences Po in France.
