Loans with partner banks: Students may apply for loans provided by French national banks at a 0% interest rate. We help our students by giving them key information about the application process but the requests can be made only at the start of the academic year (September). The bank will have the final decision on the loan amount and reimbursement plan.

Students are encouraged to find other types of financial aid in their own country or in France by themselves.
