Ecole Normale Superieure Paris (ENS)
Since 1973, this is a reciprocal exchange of graduate students between the two institutions.
Each year two visiting students are admitted to Princeton from E.N.S.-Paris with full fellowships (tuition and fees and a ten-month stipend), either Jane Eliza and William Cooper Procter awards. Students must be nominated for this fellowship at the E.N.S., and their nominations come directly to the Office of Academic Affairs from the director or assistant director of E.N.S.
Reciprocally, the Department of French and Italian at Princeton may nominate up to two of its graduate students, normally post-generals, to be exchange students for one academic year at E.N.S. The students would have “full affiliation” status, which confers the benefits of lodging at E.N.S., borrowing privileges at their library, and a lunch plan. Should the department be able to name only one or no students for the exchange, then and only then, would eligible students from other departments be considered for full affiliation.
Graduate students from other departments who plan to be in Paris for dissertation research may be considered by the Graduate School Office for recommendation to E.N.S. for “partial affiliation”. Such students would not be eligible for lodging but would be offered the other privileges of affiliation with E.N.S.

Beginning in the Fall term 2012, Princeton will accept a number of E.N.S. science graduate students equal to the number of Princeton partial affiliates. In any given year, no more than six students (Princeton or E.N.S.) can hold a partial affiliation through this exchange.
Applicants are required to submit the following:
· Completed Application
· Proposed Research Statement
· Resume or Curriculum vitae
· Transcripts of Courses
· Letter of Recommendation from home school advisor
Nominations and applications for Princeton graduate students must be received in 111 Clio Hall by January 31.
