Scholarships, grants and insurance

isdaT students can apply for scholarships based on the social criteria stipulated by CROUS, the regional center for Student Affairs. This is done by creating their Student Social File (DES) online between March 23 and May 31, before the start of the academic year. As the scholarship is only awarded for one year, it is essential to register each year before May 31.

A national scale is applied, taking into account the resources and expenses of the family.

The amount of the scholarship varies according to 8 levels which are revised each year by the Ministry of National Education. The scholarship is awarded for 9 months, from October to June. Payment is monthly (payment at the end of the month).

All the necessary information will be provided with the registration form and on the CROUS website.

Civil liability insurance

Individual “civil liability and accident” insurance must be taken out by adult students or by parents of minor students with an organization of their choice.

CVEC

All students in initial training must subscribe to the Student and Campus Life Contribution before they can enroll in higher education.

In return, they no longer have to pay student social security contributions. This new contribution is intended to provide students with social, health, cultural and sporting support. It also supports prevention and health education initiatives.

The amount is €105 for 2025-2026, and must be paid online via the CVEC website. You will receive a certificate of payment or exemption if you are a scholarship holder, which must be provided when you register at isdaT.

Exemptions

• Scholarship holders on social criteria, but you must register online to obtain a certificate of payment.
• Refugee students.
• Students benefiting from subsidiary protection.
• Students registered as asylum seekers and entitled to remain in France.
• French government grant holders and grant holders for health and social training in certain regions.

Student social security

Student social security was reformed in 2018. Therefore, there is no longer a social security contribution to be paid.

Students are now responsible for their subscription to social security, which no longer goes through higher education institutions. This year, the specific student social security system will be revoked and will instead be managed by the primary health insurance funds (CPAM), like the general scheme.

• French students enrolling for the first time in higher education

There is no process for social security. The cost of health care is covered by the fund which was previously responsible for it, generally that of the parents, located in the place of residence of the parents, even if the student moves to Toulouse. It can also be the student’s own fund, for example in the event of an employment contract for the previous year.

• Foreign students enrolling for the first time in higher education in France

Students must register with general social security at www.etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr It will then be covered by the Toulouse CPAM (Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie). Please note, this registration can only be done after payment of the CVEC and registration with the isdaT.

“Pass Mutuelle” for students

The Occitanie Region deploys throughout the regional territory, in addition to national schemes, specific aid in certain conditions to promote access to healthcare for students: the Pass Mutuelle for students. This aim of the scheme is to encourage students who receive a scholarship and who cannot otherwise benefit from supplementary health cover (Couverture Maladie Universelle Complémentaire, Aide au paiement d’une Complémentaire Santé, company mutual health insurance, or who are entitled to supplementary health insurance from a parent) to subscribe to supplementary health insurance with the Region’s partner mutual insurance organisations.

Support from the Region amounts to a maximum of € 100 per student and per academic year. It is issued, through the intermediary of partner mutual insurance companies, without any advance payment by the student. Eligibility conditions and information can be found on the Occitanie Region website.
