welcome to
Our goal is to see our Fellows take their experience and contribute to the common good of France.
The Tocqueville Fellowship offers an educational and cultural immersion experience designed to enrich the perspectives of our future leaders. This program aims to enhance the understanding of political and meta-political systems in the United States, inspired by the exploration undertaken by Alexis de Tocqueville in the early 19th century.
Since 2003, Tocqueville Fellows have had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the heart of American political power for two weeks. With unparalleled access to elected officials, influential journalists, renowned academics, and experts on key issues, our Fellows also have the chance to study new techniques in action, communication, and influence.

The Tocqueville Fellowship effectively explains how think tanks operate in the United States and how there is a very strong link between politics and these reservoirs of ideas.

I have very fond memories of this American trip. I was able to delve into the corridors of power, meet fascinating personalities, and develop a network that still benefits me several years later.

It played a significant role in my own development. A big thank you to the Tocqueville Scholarship.

Since 2003, the Tocqueville Scholarship has offered a unique platform for professional development and personal growth. Our ultimate goal is to see our fellows apply their experiences to their mission, contributing to the common good of France.
To prevent the abuse of power, nothing will equal a strong civil society. But we need technical skills to establish it for the long term: nothing can be done without professionalism. Thanks to the Tocqueville Fellowship, I was able to develop both my critical thinking and the essential practical skills I lacked to act effectively.
