a real degree = a real scholarship
The diplomas awarded by ESRA are recognized by the French State (level Bac+3 to Bac+5), giving you access to CROUS scholarships.
CROUS scholarships can entitle you to financial aid of up to 6,000 euros a year!
You may also qualify for housing benefits (APL/ALS), mobility assistance or student rates.
Our scholarship holders testify
My mother is single and earns the minimum wage. Thanks to ESRA's degree , I was able to benefit from 4,500 euros from CROUS, to which I added the school's scholarship. As a result, the school only cost me 3,000 euros a year!
Dana M.
2nd year student
My family had financial problems last year. We were able to get our CROUS and school grants, and there were only 2,500 euros left to pay per year. With a little help from my mother and the school's willingness to spread out the payments, I only had to pay 200 euros a month to finish my schooling.
Nola R.
3rd year student
I didn't think I could go to ESRA. But the CROUS gave me 2,000 euros and I borrowed the rest from the bank. As a result, two years after finishing my studies, I have to start paying back less than 100 euros a month!
Loric M.
1st year student
I really wanted to go to ESRA but both my parents have no income. I received €5,500 in scholarships from CROUS and €1,200 from ESRA. I pay the rest in ten instalments with the help of my grandmother, which is less than 300€ a month.
