Scholarships and financial aid
The CPES offers various very attractive support schemes, and in particular the possibility of being accommodated at the LIPPS boarding school for scholarship holders, and for non-scholarship students within the limit of available places (24 places per bachelor year). The programme also takes into account high school students’ participation in the “cordées de la réussite” outreach scheme when reviewing applications.
The CPES supports students in accessing financial aid schemes (needs-based scholarships, emergency grants, housing allowances). The information below gives an overview of the procedures and useful contacts.
