STATE TUITION FOR STUDENTS IN PREMIERE AND TERMINALE CLASSES (junior and senior years)

By decision of the President of the Republic, tuition fees for French students in Terminale (seniors), together with annual registration fees and, if applicable, initial registration fees, will be paid for by the State for the 2007-2008 academic year.
This provision will be extended to students in Première in French-language schools accredited by the Ministry of National Education for the 2008-2009 academic year.


Eligibility:


  Family Domicile: Children must live with at least one of their parents in the country where the school is located.

  Financial Means: The family’s gross income may be taken into account.

  Other State benefits in France: tuition assistance may not be combined with State benefits in France.

  Taxes: Families who receive tuition assistance are required to prove they are in good standing with the applicable tax authorities.

  Nationality: Children for whom scholarship assistance is sought must have French nationality. No financial assistance is available for children whose French nationality is not proved.

  Registration on the Registre des Français établis hors de France: children applying for scholarships must be registered on the global Registre des Français établis hors de France.

  School Attended: Children must attend a school/class accredited by the Ministry of National Education.

  Other child allowances/benefits taken into account: in the event applicants are also receiving direct or indirect assistance for the schooling of their children enrolled in Première and/or Terminale, regardless of the type of aid, this aid shall be taken into consideration prior to any award of State tuition. The same is true with respect to any reduction in fees or exemptions allowed by the school.
