SPS Scholarships for Master students

Academic year 2023-2024

The Saclay Plant Sciences network (SPS) offers scholarships for the best and most motivated students enrolled in the teaching programs in its perimeter, in order to compensate the cost of living in the Paris area.

The SPS perimeter includes the “Plant Sciences” program of the Integrative Biology and Physiology Master’s degree (M1 and/or M2) (Université Paris-Saclay, Université Paris Cité).

General information

Up to 10 scholarships will be allocated each year.

The successful candidates will receive¹:

in M1: 8000 euros
in M2: 6000 euros (to which will be added the internship stipends)

The students who are awarded a SPS scholarship in M1 and who are accepted in M2 will automatically be awarded the scholarship in M2.

Note for foreign students:

The Université Paris-Saclay (UPSaclay) has an International Master’s Scholarship Program reserved for excellent foreign students entering France and accepted in one of the Master’s programs of the Université Paris-Saclay. This UPSaclay Scholarship Program is different from the SPS Scholarships detailed above on this page.

If eligible to the UPSaclay International Master’s Scholarship Program² and based on excellence criteria, some candidates accepted in the “Plant Sciences” program of the Integrative Biology and Physiology Master’s degree will be proposed for a Université Paris-Saclay Scholarship by the coordinators of the Master’s program.

To be considered for the UPSaclay International Master’s Scholarship Program, foreign candidates should, therefore, apply to the Master’s program before April 18^th, 2023 (midnight).

The Université Paris-Saclay International Master’s Scholarship and the SPS Scholarship for Master students are not cumulative. Foreign students wishing to apply for a SPS Scholarship are encouraged to do so. However, if they are selected under the UPSaclay International Master’s Scholarship Program, their application to the SPS Scholarships will not be considered.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the SPS Scholarships, students must apply to one of the teaching programs in the SPS perimeter, which includes the M1 or M2 Integrative Biology and Physiology “Plant Sciences” Master’s program.
Students can apply for the SPS Scholarships before receiving a response from the teaching programs. However, only students accepted to one of these programs will then be considered for the SPS Scholarship.
Acceptance of a SPS Scholarship commits the students the following conditions with regard to the internship they carry out during the current academic year:

M1: internship within the SPS laboratory network OR internship abroad
M2 Research: internship within the SPS laboratory network
M2 Professional: no condition

Application procedure
