Paris Marais Dance School is a private school that neither requests nor receives any public funding. Consequently, the school does not grant any aid or scholarships directly to students; nor is it eligible for public funding.
Therefore, candidates are encouraged to seek out sponsors who may support the training of young artists.
As an indication and service, we provide below a list of scholarships, grants, and foundations that may assist you in financing your studies within a broad framework, even outside of PMDS. This list is not exhaustive, and we invite you to conduct your own research based on your profile or nationality.
Before any registration, we invite you to check with the administration of Paris Marais Dance School to confirm if the school is eligible for the scholarships mentioned and that may be of interest to you.
The Regional Center for University and School Services of Paris (Crous) is the public service for student life. Its mission is to promote the improvement of living and study conditions for students in the Paris academy. On this website, you will find a presentation of the services, schemes, and aid offered by the Crous of Paris to support you in your student life.
The Clé (student rental guarantee) is a state guarantee that facilitates access to housing for students without personal guarantors.
The Clé is managed by the Crous. After a testing period in 2013, it is now available in all academies.
