Scholarship
Future students may apply for master scholarship to finance their studies. Two different institutions offer scholarship for our program : the Graduate Program in Mathematics and Applications (PGMA) of PSL University and the Fondation Science mathématiques de Paris (FSMP).
There are two types of scholarships:
- a 1 year scholarship to attend the M2 year (PSL master’s degree scholarship or PGMA master grant).
- a 4 year scholarship to attend the M2 year and three years of PhD (PSL PhD tracks).
PSL master’s degree scholarship
The PSL master’s degree scholarship is based on academic excellence criteria and it is open to national and international students having successfully achieved a 1st year of master program in mathematics. The scholarship corresponds to a fixed monthly allowance of 1200 euros for a 10-months duration. Laureates are assisted by PSL’s housing office in finding a room at the CROUS in Paris.
The schedule for applications for the next academic year may be found here. The required documents must be uploaded on the MyCandidature platform (Graduate Program in Mathematics and Applications, button just below).
For more information, please write to gp-maths@psl.eu
PSL PhD track
The PSL PhD track is an excellence program intended to support outstanding students from their Master through the completion of their PhD. For the M2 year the scholarship is equivalent to the above detailed PSL master’s degree scholarship. For foreign students, PSL can also cover a round trip airfare ticket from country of origin to Paris (based on an economy fare only).
Concerning the salary granted for the following 3 PhD years, it is equivalent to a doctoral contract based on French legislation (see here).

PGSM master grant
The scholarship offered by FSMP, the PGSM master grant, is equivalent to the PSL master’s degree scholarship. In addition, FSMP will take care also of the social security coverage and the university registration fees for the laureates. Note that there are two separate calls for PGSM master grants :
- The first call is open to students who carry out their studies outside France ;
- The second call is open to students already enrolled in a first year of a master in mathematics or theoretical computer science in the FSMP network.
More details as well as the on-line application platform may be found at : PGSM Master-FSMP
For more information, please write to pgsm@fsmp.fr
Laureates of any of the above scholarship will need to follow the administrative steps for their enrolment in the master according to the standard procedure and deadlines (see here). Their admission into the master will be automatically approved by the M2 committee without going through any further evaluation step.
