Meet Indian scholarship students at Sciences Po

Romasha comes from Calcutta, Alleiah from Ahmedabad and Akhil from Hindupur.
All three are outstanding students who could not have come to study in France or at Sciences Po without the various types of financial aid they receive. In this video, they talk about their life in France and their plans for the future. 

In the last five years, the number of Indian students has tripled at Sciences Po. For most of them, financial support is a deciding factor in coming to study abroad.
