Description of
Exchange for GSAS Students
(1) One Columbia PhD student on a dissertation
fellowship travels to Sciences Po in Paris for the academic year (October
through January). NOTE: This award is substitutional for the
dissertation year fellowship the GSAS exchange student to Sciences Po would
receive if he/she remains in New York.
(2) Upon approval by GSAS and Sciences Po each spring, the Columbia PhD
student is promised from Sciences Po free tuition and a stipend in EUROs
comparable to the amount that Columbia would have awarded for the academic year
2007-08. Columbia will pay health insurance
so that the student is covered in the U.S. (in case the student travels to the
U.S. during the year) and the student is required to carry approximately $200
French health insurance in Paris.
(3) In Paris, the GSAS exchange student is assigned a faculty adviser
and invited to participate in a Sciences Po seminar designed specifically to
socialize international students. In the seminar students share their doctoral
research with faculty and students. The student
has access to all research services and other Sciences Po benefits and may be considered
eligible to apply to teach a topic seminar on his or her dissertation topic in
English for an adjunct salary in addition to the stipend.
