Foundations or institutions

Sciences Po has established close relationships with major French and international foundations and institutions. Thanks to their support, we can implement even more ambitious programs to educate upcoming generations and empower them to innovate and address the challenges of our society.

The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Sciences Po supported talented African students through their studies and offered the next generation of leaders a world-class social science education, so they could go on to become changemakers in their home countries.

The scholarships were awarded to students from sub-Saharan African 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. They cover the full cost of tuition fees at Sciences Po and living costs in France during the study period.

Supporting research activities 

Research at Sciences Po has a dual purpose: to contribute to the analysis of the contemporary world and to work towards its transformation by underpinning our teaching. By tackling fundamental questions while remaining constantly engaged with society, our research enriches public and academic debate, with an impact in France and abroad. Our research chairs and programmes cover a wide range of fields to address tomorrow’s challenges.

Help transform our campuses

Transforming our campuses is a fundamental challenge if our students are to study in the best possible conditions. Following the opening of Saint-Thomas in 2022, the redevelopment of our Paris campus continues at 30 rue Saint Guillaume, dedicated to the environment and sustainable development, and 56 rue des Saint Pères.

“ The world is changing, and humanity’s place with it. Ethical reflection is indispensable. The Foundation shares Sciences Po’s perspective, that of promoting ethical awareness and meeting the challenge of educating responsible people equipped to innovate and work with a free conscience to address the major challenges of a changing society. Anthony shared this vision and this hope”. -
