Students: the service to request meals at 1 € is open!

Publié le null - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

In university restaurants managed by the Crous, meals are 1 € for scholarship students, but also for non-scholarship holders in a situation of precariousness. For the latter, it is now possible to apply to the Crous network to benefit from this preferential tariff during the academic year 2023-2024.

If you are a non-scholarship student, to be able to benefit from meals at 1 € in university restaurants, you must:

  • go to site epa.lescrous.fr and click on “Apply”;
  • log in to your MyServices account with your credentials (this is the platform used for Parcoursup);
  • you are then asked for various personal information and proof of financial situation: resources (salaries, housing assistance, maintenance...) and expenses (rent, transport subscription, loan to repay...).

The social service of the Crous network then takes charge of studying your case. You have until January 2 to apply. After this date, it will be necessary to make an appointment with the social service of your home country so that your situation can be examined.

Please note

if you have difficulty making your request online, you can contact the Crous via the form available on messervices.student.gouv.fr.

How can you benefit if you are a scholar?

If you are a fellow:

  • bring with you your (provisional or final) award notification received by email;
  • create an account Izly ;
  • You can then pay for your meal with your phone via the Izly app or by using your rechargeable student card.

If you already have an Izly account, no action is required: the scholarship student status is automatically taken into account in the Izly account upon receipt of the notification of final award of the scholarship.

Social or very social pricing

In the 2023-2024 academic year, the restaurant rates will be the same as last year. The Crous offers a two-price restaurant service:

  • a so-called “social” fee of €3.30;
  • a so-called “very social” fee of €1 for scholarship or non-scholarship students who are precarious.

Students may have a "6-point menu" at university restaurants for these rates. It is a full meal with a starter, a main course and a dessert. Several choices are available, with a vegetarian option.

FYI  

in cafeterias, a "premium" package at €2.80 is also offered to students who are scholars or in a precarious situation, and at €5.10 for other students.
