Scholarships

Financing a college education is a major challenge for many students. To promote access to its programs and support students’ academic journeys, TSE offers and provides information on various scholarship and financial aid programs.

These scholarships may be awarded based on several criteria: financial need, academic excellence, nationality, educational background, or plans to continue one’s studies. They are funded by public agencies, institutional partners, foundations, or directly by TSE.

Some scholarships may be combined with one another, and may include exemption provisions of tuition fees, depending on the eligibility requirements specific to each program.

In addition, emergency financial aid may be requested during the academic year to assist students facing significant financial difficulties or exceptional circumstances.

Below you will find a complete list of scholarship programs, categorized by student profile and program of study, to help you identify the financial aid options that best fit your situation.

French Students

Crous Need-Based Grants

Need-based grants are the primary national student aid program. They are awarded by the Crous based on the household’s social and financial situation and are designed to support students throughout their academic careers.

Depending on the level assigned, they entitle students to annual financial aid and exemption from tuition fees (Bachelor’s, standard Master’s, and TSE Master of Science programs). Applications are submitted annually as part of the Student Social File (DSE). For more information, please contact the Crous Toulouse-Occitanie.
