The CVEC is a student life and campus contribution collected by the Crous (Regional Center for Student Social Services). It amounts to 100 euros per student and applies to all students enrolled in a higher education institution in France.

Part of this sum is given directly to the University of Bordeaux and will be used to improve your living standards: reception, social and healthcare support, sport, culture, prevention and health, associations.

This contribution is compulsory, but some students may be exempt:

• Scholarship students or recipients of an annual allowance from the specific annual grant fund
• Refugee students
• Student eligible for subsidiary protection
• Students registered as asylum seekers with the right to remain on French territory.

To get a scholarship you have to fill out a student social file (DSE) at the Crous between January 20^th and May 15^th preceding your start date at the University of Bordeaux.

All information, as well as the file template, are on the Crous Bordeaux-Aquitaine website.
