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. 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.

Scholarships and criteria

• Needs-based national scholarships are awarded by the CROUS de Versailles according to the national scale. Applications are made through the Dossier Social Étudiant (DSE) at messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr.
• Specific grants may be offered on an occasional basis by partner institutions or foundations.

Procedures and contacts

To put together an application or ask questions, you will find all the useful contact details on the Contact page.
