Paris Marais Dance School is a private school and does not apply for or receive public funding. Consequently, the school does not award grants or scholarships directly to students, nor is it eligible for public assistance.
Applicants are therefore encouraged to approach sponsors likely to support the training of young artists.
For your information and convenience, we have provided below a list of scholarships, grants and foundations likely to help you finance your studies in a broad context, even outside PMDS. This list is not exhaustive, and we invite you to do your own research, according to your profile or nationality.
Before enrolling, we invite you to check with the Paris Marais Dance School management whether the school is eligible for the scholarships mentioned and likely to be of interest to you.
The Centre régional des œuvres universitaires et scolaires de Paris (Crous) is the public service for student life. Its mission is to improve living and studying conditions for students in the Paris academy. On this site, you'll find a presentation of the services, facilities and assistance offered by the Crous de Paris to support you in your student life.
The Clé (student rental guarantee) is a government guarantee that facilitates access to housing for students without personal guarantors.
La Clé is managed by the Crous. After a test period in 2013, it is now available in all académies.
