Crous student grant 2023-2024: an increasing amount, payment dates

STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP 2023-2024. Students whose families do not benefit from financial largesse can benefit, each month, from a scholarship. Its amount has been revised upwards. Here’s how to benefit from it.

Each year, they make nearly 730,000 to benefit from it: the student grant is a precious financial source for young people who follow higher education, once they have passed high school. But often, this takes place far from the family home, thus entailing a significant budget to meet their needs: housing, food, travel, paying school fees and many other expenses. Thus, this aid paid by the State under conditions of family income reduces part of the student’s monthly costs, without taking on the full cost.

For the year 2023-2024, the State has revalued student grants. Each month, beneficiaries will receive 37 euros moreover. The increase being fixed and not proportional according to the steps, it is therefore much greater for the small scholarships received compared to the higher ones.

In 2023-2024, the annual amount of the student grant was therefore increased for all levels. It can be collected during the 10 months of the academic year but also during 12 months, summer holidays included, under certain conditions. Here is what beneficiaries can receive each month, depending on their level:
