Description:

This scholarship is awarded each year to one American student who wishes to pursue graduate education at Sciences Po. The award covers all expenses over a two-year period, including tuition and cost of living. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of French, as both French and English tracks are offered for nearly all degree programs. This scholarship targets candidates interested in studying political science, international relations, economics, history, law, or sociology. Generally, applicants should have a GPA above 3.8 to be considered. Northwestern may nominate one graduating senior for this award. Because the master’s program application is due at roughly the same time, students should be preparing the two applications simultaneously. Do not wait for the results of the scholarship competition to begin your master’s program application.
