How does it work?
You submit a loan application to one of the banks participating in the scheme (currently Société générale, Crédit Mutuel, C.I.C., Banques Populaires and Caisses d’Epargne in the B.P.C.E group). The bank will decide whether to grant you the loan, and under what conditions. To avoid families getting into financial difficulty, banks have discretion whether to grant the loan based on the information provided by the applicant.
The state guarantees 70% of the value of the loan.
You can defer repayment of the loan, in other words, you begin repayment 2 years after graduating, once you've secured employment.
Maximum amount: €15,000
The guarantee system rests upon a guarantee fund managed by bpifrance. The BPI France Student loan fund is replenished every year.

Funding your studies in a Grande Ecole
Bank loans
91ÐÞ³µ³§ Business School has partnerships with several banks, meaning our students can benefit from preferential conditions to fund their studies.
Erasmus loan

A loan to cover the cost of studying a Master's degree abroad
Erasmus + offers the opportunity to apply for a loan to study a Master's degree abroad. These loans are offered by participating banks and credit agencies.
This loan system, which was created in collaboration with the European Investment Bank, will be gradually rolled out to all Erasmus + programme countries. The loan guarantee system for students has been in place since mid-2015.
Students in higher education who have been granted a place on a Master's programme abroad can apply for an Erasmus + loan, provided the country participates in the programme. The country in question must be different from the student's country of residence and the country where he/she obtained their undergraduate degree (Bachelor's degree or equivalent).
The student can borrow up to €12,000 for a one-year Master's programme and €18,000 for a two-year Master's programme.
Students should contact participating banks and credit agencies directly.
