Deadline: December 5, 2019 (Masters Applicants)/January 29, 2020 (Undegraduate Applicants)

Applications are open for the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Sciences Po 2020/2021. The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Sciences Po aims to support 126 talented African students through their studies and to offer the next generation of leaders a world-class social science education, so they can go on to become changemakers in their home countries. The scholarships are awarded for a period of three years for the Bachelor’s degree, two years for the Master’s degree and one month for the Summer School.

Over six years (2017 – 2022), the Scholars Program will fund:

  • 20 scholarships to complete the Sciences Po Bachelor of Arts programme, Africa specialisation
  • 46 scholarships to complete a Master’s programme at one of their seven graduate schools
  • 60 scholarships reserved for Mastercard Foundation Scholars studying at other partner universities and who would like to attend Sciences Po Summer School.

Scholarship

  • The scholarship covers the full cost of tuition fees at Sciences Po and living costs in France during the study period.

    • An orientation programme and individualised academic advising throughout their studies at Sciences Po
    • A mentor programme offered in collaboration with the Africa Division of Sciences Po Alumni
    • Career guidance and support: an online job platform dedicated to professional opportunities in Africa (internships and first jobs), access to their business incubator and the network of employers and alumni working in Africa, and specific career workshops.
