Two major options for Indian undergraduates are the France Excellence Charpak Bachelor Scholarship and the Émile Boutmy Scholarship. The Charpak scholarship, funded by the French government, offers a monthly living allowance, exemption from visa and Campus France fees, health insurance, accommodation support, and access to subsidised meals for students admitted to full-time bachelor’s programmes. The Émile Boutmy Scholarship, offered by Sciences Po, is a merit-based award for international students (including Indians) recognised for academic excellence and personal achievements, helping to cover tuition and living costs at Sciences Po. Applicants typically need strong academic records and a compelling profile to qualify for either scholarship.
