Scholarship application

    The civil engineering program at the École des Mines is not affiliated with the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, so its students are not eligible for CROUS scholarships.

    To replace the CROUS grant, the School offers a living grant (for students whose taxable income is in France) or a grant from the Fondation Mines Paris (for all students whose parents do not have a reference taxable income in France).

    This grant cannot be combined with any other grant.

    Applications must be completed before September 4, 2025, by following this link:

    Scholarship application

    Scholarship applications are reviewed by the registrar’s office. The eligibility criteria and scholarship scales applied are the same as those applied by the CROUS.

    For students whose parents do not declare income in France: Students who do not receive a scholarship from the French government (ERASMUS, Campus France, Eiffel) or any other organization (foreign government or other) may apply for a scholarship by following this link. The application will be forwarded to the Fondation Mines Paris.

    If you have any questions, please contact : odile.malezieux@minesparis.psl.eu.
