To benefit from the study grant, and therefore from total exemption from payment of university fees and the regional tax for the right to study and subsidised rates for services, you must meet the economic requirements (income through ISEE-U and assets) and merit requirements.

The amount of the study grant is commensurate with your economic condition, your place of residence and whether you are a resident student, a commuter or an off-site student.

Here are the services specifically:

They may also decide to replace accommodation in the ALISEO residences with a "rent" contribution if this is deemed more appropriate to their needs.
