Diploma support
A diploma flat-rate aid is provided to every student enrolled for the DNSAP (Diplôme national supérieur d’Art Plastique). It is allocated all at once during the 10th semester (a GNI must be given to the registrar’s office when registering for the 5th year of study).
CROUS higher education grants by social criteria
CROUS grants by social criteria are awarded for one academic year. Eligible candidates must be:
• registered Beaux-Arts de Paris students;
• under 28 at the time first grant is awarded;
• French citizens;
Foreign students are eligible under one of the following conditions:
• student’s parents are citizens of Europen Economic Community member countries and work or have worked in France under the terms of the Treaty of Rome;
• student has obtained official refugee status from the Office Français de Protection des Réfugiés et Apatrides (OFRA);
• either of student’s parents as well as parents’ dependent children have resided legally in France for at least two years.
Financial aid is monthly disbursed over 10 months, by transfer on postal checking account or bank account. Grantees are exempted from tuition fees and social security contribution.
Visale (former CROUS rental deposit for students)
The former student physical guarantor “Clé Locative” offered by CROUS to facilitate access to housing is now granted by Action Logement and is called “Garantie visale”.
Among Visale’s main benefits:
• reassuring the lessor by reducing renting procedures;
• allowing professional mobility – Visale can also be granted to young employees or with a promise of hiring under 30
• to some extent, Visale can act as a guarantee covering unpaid rent or take over possible damages incurred during rent.
Visale does not exempt the tenant to get compulsory housing insurance.
Other available student aid
In order to face the precariousness of the students, the Crous has created a series of punctual and exceptional aids. This is a series of aids that can be requested according to one's profile and needs. Consult the public service platform to find the details of this aid. You will find assistance for housing, transportation or your daily expenses. In addition, you can find out about the assistance available for your driver's license. It is good to know that not all car insurance companies have the same rates, so check the differences. When you apply for assistance, you will never be asked to provide your credit card information. If your card is blocked due to a payment made at a merchant's terminal, go to the Perceval platform to follow the process.
“Départements” financial aids
The Conseils Généraux (General councils) of some French départements award financial aid grants. Information at the Service des bourses et prêts d’honneur of student’s local Conseil Général.
City of Paris financial aid
Each year, six grants are awarded by the City of Paris, to encourage students at Beaux-Arts de Paris in their works. Candidates must be registered for degree or post-degree level. They must justify their needs for financial assistance.

Annual emergency financial aid from the Ministère de la Culture
On condition of application approval by a CROUS social worker, annual emergency financial aid may also be available to students with no family or other visible source of support and who therefore cannot apply for higher education financial aid on the basis of socio-economic need criteria.
Two sessions are organized every year.
