Specific situations

Financial aid for non-scholarship students

Students without a scholarship and whose tuition fees will amount to 0 € for the 2025-2026 academic year will receive a financial aid amounting to €400 (roughly 50% of a 0Bis Crous level additional cost of living scholarship.

This financial aid will be disbursed in one installment from September 2025 onwards and is subject to the finalisation of the administrative registration. The financial aid will only be disbursed for years or semesters (50%) of compulsory study at Sciences Po or compulsory internship periods.

Students with temporary or permanent disabilities

Sciences Po is committed to welcoming and integrating students with temporary and permanent disabilities. This commitment is based on a strong sense of responsibility as well as compliance with its legal obligations according to the Law of 11 February 2005.

The institution grants a full tuition fee waiver to students with disabilities recognised by the Disability Rights Commission (CDAPH) or mentioned in article L5212-13 of the French Labour Code (fr.). This tuition fee waiver applies to eligible students enrolled in Bachelor's or Master's degree, upon presentation of a certificate of recognition as a disabled worker (RQTH) (PDF) issued by the Departmental Centre for Disabled People or MDPH or other recognised qualification mentioned in article L5212-13 of the French Labour Code (fr.). This certificate must be uploaded to the student space by 31 August 2026 at the latest, for the academic year 2025-2026.

The recognition entitles continuing students to exemption from tuition fees, provided that the period of validity shown on the RQTH certificate covers the entire academic year for which the student is registering.

This recognition will not be taken into account retroactively. Hence no exemption or refund will be awarded for a previous period.

Students admitted to a one-year Master's programme are not eligible for this waiver. Sciences Po awards partial tuition fee waivers to a select number of outstanding students from one-year Master's programmes. Please contact the person in charge of the programme for further information about applying for this partial tuition fee waiver.

For more information, see the orientation page for disabled Sciences Po students.
