14.4. French Lycée Merit Grants - Bourses au mérite

Upper secondary school merit grants are called Bourses au mérite.

This grant is automatically available to those pupils joining lycée who would have already been in receipt (or had an entitlement to) of a bourse de collège and who obtained high marks in the award of the lower secondary school national diploma, the Brevet des Collèges.

On a discretionary basis it may be available to other others who distinguished themselves by their efforts at collège, on application to the lycée in the first instance.

It is also available to pupils in receipt of a bourse de lycée who have demonstrated a good work record at lycée. Thus, it may be attributed after the first term at school

The grant award is made by the Inspector d’academie, but initial enquiries should be addressed to the lycée.

The amount of the grant is circa €800, payable in three annual instalments each year. We await final details of the amount of the grant for 2008/9.

The continued award of the grant is subject to satisfactory progress and results. If the school does not consider the child is progress may have their entitlement to the grant removed.
