The “Parcoursup Mobility Grant” campaign will open on July 6. The filing of your request will only be possible after your actual registration in the institution located in another academy than your academy of origin.

The CROUS examines the request taking into account the student's situation and the financial impact that mobility could have (possible move, cost of living and installation costs).

The aid is granted after administrative registration in the applicant's future establishment.
