General Council of Ardennes - Department Student Grants

Department Student Grants (CD08)

You will receive a one-off grant of 1,000 EUR towards your study costs, payable for one year. This grant is awarded by the Conseil Départemental des Ardennes, the local authority for the Ardennes department in north-eastern France. The grant supplements the state study grant (‘bourse nationale’) if your study costs exceed the amount covered by that grant.

• Nationality: You are French or are applying for French citizenship.
• Level: You are currently undertaking higher education, for example on a BTS course (a two-year vocational diploma), at a university or at a Grande École.
• Where you study: You are studying in the Grand Est region. You can still apply, even if your degree programme is not offered there or if your application via Parcoursup (the French university admissions platform) has been rejected.
• Progress: You won’t be repeating the school year.
• Field of study: All participants are eligible to take part.
