Can a student combine the scholarship with a job or other assistance?

You are a student and you wonder if you can accumulate the higher education scholarship on social criteria with a job or with other aids? Here are the possibilities.

You can accumulate the grant on social criteria with the following aids:

  • Scholarship awarded by a local authority

On the other hand, the scholarship on social criteria is not cumulative with the following aids:

  • Scholarship from a ministry other than that of higher education
  • Support for continuing training or vocational integration
  • Foreigner Government Stock Exchange

Cumulation possible: Education assistant

If you have a scholarship rate corresponding to the 2nd step minimum, you can combine the scholarship with a part-time job as an education assistant.

Impossible to accumulate: student apprentice teacher

If you are student apprentice teacher, you cannot receive higher education grants on social grounds.

In principle, you can combine your scholarship on social criteria with a professional activity. To do this, you must respect the obligation to attend the courses and exams.

However, you cannot roll up if you are in one of the following situations:

  • You're a public servant
  • You have successfully passed a residency competition (in medicine for example)
  • You are registered in Pôle emploi
  • You are on an apprenticeship, professionalization or individual training leave.

FYI  

You can accumulate the scholarship on social criteria with a civic service contract.

You can combine the scholarship on social criteria with a mandatory, paid internship integrated into your training curriculum. Cumulation is possible even if this internship is full time.
