Financing your studies

ESPÉ promotes access for all to courses of excellence and to international experience. We have set up several support systems to help students finance their studies

ESPÉ Merit Scholarships

Bursary with honors*: €2,000
This scholarship is awarded to students in the first year of a Bachelor's degree who obtain a mention Très Bien in the French baccalaureate.

Excellence grant*: €2,000
This scholarship is awarded to the best candidates for Master of Science.

* This is a full tuition scholarship and not an annual scholarship

ESPÉ social scholarships

Each year, all ESPÉ students can submit a file including the tax notices of both parents and all documents allowing their financial situation to be estimated.

The reductions granted can go up to 50% of the tuition fees.

ESPÉ International Scholarships

Each year, all ESPÉ students going on a university exchange can submit a file including the tax notices of both parents and all documents allowing their financial situation to be estimated.

International scholarships can represent up to €2,000 and can be combined with ESPÉ social scholarships.

Erasmus Scholarships

For international exchanges, students can benefit from Erasmus scholarships, the amount of which varies according to the country of destination and the duration of the exchange.

Other possible scholarships

Some departments or regions award scholarships under certain conditions. Do not hesitate to contact their services directly.

For foreign students, some countries grant specific scholarships to their nationals. Check with dedicated government agencies.

Housing benefits

Most students can benefit from aid paid by the CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) to partially cover their rent. This aid does not depend on student status but on your financial situation. For this, you must have a rental contract.

Two types of housing assistance (not cumulative) are paid by CAF: ALS and APL.

Bank loans

A student loan can help you finance your years of study.

Do not hesitate to inquire with several banking establishments.

OSEO Loan

The state-guaranteed student loan allows you to borrow to finance your studies, without having to provide the bank with the guarantee of a relative or proof of income. The maximum loan amount is €20,000.

To benefit from it, you must be under 28, be of French nationality or a national of the EEA under certain conditions. The request is made to the partner banks of the operation.

Please note that the number of state-guaranteed student loans each year is limited.

Learning

Available to Master of Science Psychology & Management, this formula is a particularly interesting financing solution since the company that signs an apprenticeship contract bears the tuition fees and pays him a salary throughout the duration of the 24-month contract.

Internships

They allow the student to receive compensation.

On the other hand, it is much rarer for internships in clinical psychology in public institutions.

Student jobs and missions

You can also participate directly in the financing of your studies thanks to student jobs and missions offered by the school or by certain student associations.

Payment of Fees

A deposit of €1,800 is used to validate the pre-registration and must be paid online by credit card.

The balance of tuition fees can be paid in two ways:

Payment of all fees in one installment online, by bank transfer or by check before September 10, 2025 for students registered for the 2025/2026 academic year
Payment in 8 monthly installments by direct debit from October 2025

Foreign students outside Europe must make monthly bank transfers.
