The government-backed loan for your studies
As a student, to be eligible for a government-backed loan, all you need to do is meet the following conditions:
- You are under 28 years of age
- You are a French or EU national
You can borrow a maximum of €20,000, for a term of between 2 and 10 years. There are a limited number of banks that can offer the state-guaranteed loan: Crédit Mutuel, Banques Populaires, Banque Postale, etc. Please refer to the list up to date at the start of your application. To have your bank account domiciled with the same bank as your lender, you'll need to change banks (see the bank mobility service). This involves opening a new bank account, transferring your transfers and direct debits and closing your previous bank account. To take out a loan without having to change banks, contact each bank to find out whether you need to be an existing customer for your application to be considered.
