Financial aid for international mobility
Depending on the destination and the student’s financial and social situation, it is possible to apply for a mobility funding. This funding provides support but does not cover all expenses.
Whether it is an internship or a study period, funding opportunities are available to help students carry out their international mobility projects.
Please note: financial aid can provide support, but they will not cover all the costs of your stay. They may be paid late, and eligibility depends on various factors. For your security, the feasibility of your mobility should not rely solely on financial aid.
Financial aid managed by Université Paris Cité
Depending on the destination (Europe or outside Europe), the student’s financial and social situation, and the type of mobility, it is possible to apply for international mobility funding from Université Paris Cité.
Students are free to choose external funding for their mobility; however, they will then be subject to the rules set by the external funding body.
Eligibility criteria
- Be enrolled at Université Paris Cité at the time of application and throughout the entire mobility period, regardless of the grant requested.
- Have a family quotient (QF) below €40,000. Please note that students wishing to declare themselves financially independent must provide proof of annual net earnings exceeding €8,389. Otherwise, the parents’ tax assessment for the current tax year must be provided.
It is important to note that the family quotient is indicated on your parents’ tax assessment and is calculated by dividing the taxable income by the number of shares. For example, for a family with two parents and two children (3 shares), the maximum income would be €120,000. The family quotient corresponds to the taxable income from the current tax year’s assessment to which the student is attached, divided by the number of shares indicated on the tax assessment.
Allocation criteria
Please note that students undertaking a paid internship (over €1,000 per month) or those with a family quotient between €37,000 and €40,000 will not be given priority in the allocation of grants. However, you are strongly encouraged to apply nonetheless.
Conditions for the payment of financial aid
Submitting an application for, or being accepted to, an international mobility does not automatically guarantee the award of a financial aid. Université Paris Cité reserves the right to decide on the allocation, duration, and amount of the financial support. The grant is awarded based on the duration of the mobility. A prepayment of 80% will be made at the start of the study/internship period upon submission of the arrival certificate. The remaining 20% will be paid after submission of the end-of-stay certificate (MoveOn tracking form). For short-term mobility, the conditions for payment of the mobility financial aid may vary. Students are encouraged to contact their mobility coordinator for guidance.
By submitting a financial aid application, the student automatically applies for all grants for which their mobility (study or internship) is eligible.
International mobility grants can range from €200 to €1,000 per month, depending on your eligibility. For more information, you can consult the pages for each funding option:
– Allocation Erasmus+ Études
– Allocation Erasmus+ Stage
– Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche (MESR)
– Aide de la Direction des relations internationales
