After the numerous expenses that followed at the end of the year, students should not neglect this financial aid. Notice to latecomers: here is the deadline to respect in order to benefit from it.
The start of the January school year is often synonymous with good resolutions and new projects… but also administrative reminders not to be missed! Student friends, an important step must be taken in the coming weeks if you wish to spend the year 2025 without worrying about your finances. And in a context where every euro counts, it would be a shame to miss out.
Housing costs, food, school supplies… the list of expenses can be significant when you leave high school. Fortunately, aid measures have been put in place to support those who need it most. Scholarships based on social criteria, personalized housing assistance (APL) or even one-euro meals in university restaurants are all measures that help to reduce student insecurity. These boosts not only relieve the burden on your wallet, but also allow you to concentrate on the essential: studies. Less financial stress means a more serene start to the school year and greater success. But to benefit from these schemes, you still have to comply with certain administrative formalities.
Each year, the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) asks students to confirm their situation. This declaration is essential to adjust aid according to each individual’s income and needs. Concretely, this approach makes it possible to recalculate the amount of the APL paid from the month of January. “Scholarship students must indicate each year whether they are still beneficiaries of a means-tested scholarship on December 1. indicates the website. Indeed, this reminder is addressed to students benefiting from a scholarship. In the event of non-declaration to the CAF, it will apply a package intended for non-scholarship students, which is less advantageous. To carry out this update, all you need to do is connect to your personal space on the official website. An alert will remind you to confirm whether you are still on scholarship or not. A few minutes will then be enough to validate your situation and guarantee that your assistance corresponds to your needs. But be careful, because this declaration must be made before January 31, 2025.
After this date, automatic recalculations will come into effect and it will be too late to turn back, risking a significant loss. In short, you will have understood, log in, validate, and start the year 2025 on the right foot.
