Student catering assistance

Why does this financial aid exist?

Despite many university restaurants available across the country, some students can't access them because of the distance from their place of study. That’s why a law was passed to “promote access for all students to affordable meal options.” This law is now a financial aid.

How much?

It depends on your situation:

• €20 per month if you are not a scholarship holder.
• €40 per month if you benefit from a scholarship.
• An additional €10 per month for French overseas students.
