Merit-based scholarships

Merit-based financial aid is awarded to students enrolled in initial training at ENSM who receive a higher education grant based on social criteria or an annual allowance granted under the specific aid scheme.
It is available to students who have obtained a ‘very good’ grade in the French baccalaureate.

When applying for scholarships for initial training, students must provide proof that they obtained a ‘very good’ grade in their baccalaureate.

Merit-based aid is paid at the same time as the means-tested grant. It is not paid during the university summer holidays. Continued receipt of merit-based aid is subject to the conditions of regular attendance at classes and exams set out for means-tested higher education grants.

Merit-based aid is governed by a decree. Find out more
