Financing your mobility
It should be noted that gap years are not eligible for supervised exchange programs, nor for mobility grants (except in the case of a gap year as part of a double degree with Sciences Po).
As a student at a higher education institution under the authority of the French Ministry of Culture, you can apply for scholarships common to all students in France, and for scholarships specific to the School, through the School's departments, without going through the School's departments.
Applying through the School's services
Fill out the scholarship application form (available on the Digital Campus, International section > Financing your stay) and upload the requested documents.
List of scholarships

As part of a national policy of inclusion, several criteria specified in the Erasmus+ circular published in the Bulletin Officiel de l'Education nationale (n°16 of April 22, 2021) identify specific publics for whom the Erasmus+ France Agency will trigger "support for inclusion". For the higher education sector, support for inclusion takes the form of an additional monthly amount of 250€ on the Erasmus+ grant to encourage public participation. Meeting just one of these criteria qualifies for the top-up.
