In order to guarantee the quality of our teaching and to continue to offer excellent courses, you will need to pay tuition fees to join our school. In addition to the fee for each course, there is a €200 application fee payable on enrolment.
If you fail your baccalaureate, ESMA will refund your deposit if you inform ESMA within 5 working days.
As ESMA is a private higher education establishment, tuition fees are our main source of income, enabling us to pay our qualified teaching staff, finance our top-of-the-range infrastructure and provide all the professional equipment we need to help our students succeed.
However, in the interests of fairness and equality of opportunity, which is so important to ESMA, different types of internal grants have been created to ease the financial burden on our students.

Excellence scholarships based on social criteria
Does your commitment match your ambitions? You can reduce your tuition fees during the course, on the basis of a file, depending on the assessment of your seriousness and motivation.
Remise fraterie
A 10% reduction in tuition fees (for each member of a sibling group) is offered when a 2nd member of the same sibling group enrols.
Exceptional grants
ESMA can support a student in a difficult personal situation during their studies, following a meeting with a pedagogical advisor and/or the Head of School.
External scholarships
CROUS grants
As a private higher education establishment, ESMA does not allow you to receive grants based on social criteria. However, if you are eligible for CROUS university accommodation, you can still submit an application to benefit from affiliated rights (catering, university library, etc.)
Students who are not eligible for grants based on social criteria can still benefit from financial aid offered by various foundations. Visit the Fondation de France website to find out about the possibilities for financial support.
Higher education at a private institution is an investment in the future, and we are aware that financing it can be difficult.
If you are not eligible for a grant, other solutions exist to help you achieve the career of your dreams.
bank loan
One loan, a thousand and one possibilities
If you wish to finance your studies at ESMA, banking institutions may be a solution, once you have estimated your financing needs.
State-guaranteed loans are an interesting alternative, with no means-testing, no third-party guarantee and deferred repayment.
Staggered payments
Pay in instalments!
ESMA offers easy payment solutions such as instalments to make it easier to finance your tuition. You pay your tuition fees in several instalments, free of charge, according to a fixed payment schedule.
As an ESMA student, you are issued with a card attesting to your student status. As part of its international outreach, ESMA offers an ISIC student card, recognised by UNESCO, enabling you to benefit from numerous discounts and student advantages in over 130 countries worldwide (food shopping, leisure activities, subscriptions, cultural visits, etc.)
